The 4th day had the final lecture of Dennis Ray and a quite interesting talk of Robert Maxim about Ensight, Management Consulting and his captivating success story (which reminds me: they have an internship program that you can apply for over here).
The 5th and last day:  competition of business ideas and plans. The jury: Steven […]

The event goes on, socializing is much easier now after the team-building exercises from Cristian(I often overreact regarding these things - most people around liked him A LOT, so I guess I’m probably not the best judge of character).
Dennis Ray amazes me every day, the savy aged-guy, brilliant and enthusiastic, with a HUGE experience in […]

Management, strategy and entrepreneurship quotes and ideas with Tom Peters - live keynote from his speech in Bucharest over at Radu Ionescu

Although I’ve been living in Paris for the last 2 years and a half, I had no idea that there were so many interesting IT startups over here. I mean, I knew there is a lot of IT research over at INRIA, Telecom, and ENS, as well as at Francetelecom and Sony labs. Mostly AI, […]
