Adrian Georgescu is a manager for winners. He knows when to be gentle and he knows when to be firm. He stand up for his team in front others as well as he challenges his team in order to achieve the best performance. Whenever is needed he can be quite demanding, both with himself and with others. Above all, as a direct report along three years, I have always appreciated Adrian's high integrity.
