Meet The Professionals!
Dan Berteanu
I am a computer science engineer by education, but a sales professional by practice. After more than 27 years of selling, I continue to love understanding, challenging, and pitching my customers.
In 2012 I bought the Romanian franchise of AchieveGlobal and started my entrepreneurial journey. Since then, I have done 3 exits, several sales & marketing redesign projects for technology, health care, and financial companies, and launched two new start-ups.
On a more personal note, I found my soulmate back in 1987 and we married 9 years later. We grow old and travel through life together being proud of our children, Radu and Anca.
I am an endurance triathlete, finishing 4 full-Ironman races so far. I read daily about sales&marketing, behavior economics, and exit strategies, and I am an addicted bridge player.
Iulian Rizea
Shortly, I am a certified value builder advisor, interacting with over 1000 entrepreneurs in the last 10 years.
Professionally, through the Entrepreneurship programs within Romanian Business Leaders, I facilitated the transfer of value of over 10 million euros between top entrepreneurs and growing entrepreneurs. Thus, I deeply understand the blockages of entrepreneurs in the scaling stage and the challenges of the transition to a company that creates independent value.
I graduated from the Academy of Economic Studies. After that, I attended the Fast Track Management Program courses at the Bucharest International School of Management and I am certified as a Program Mentoring Manager within the ITOL – International Training and Learning Organization. Of course, the reason why I am here – I am also a Certified Value Builder within Value Builder Systems.
I do have a special affinity for etymology and my favorite ways to relax are outdoor cooking, bird watching, and gardening.
