I’m a designer, entrepreneur, and former doctor. I’m interested in how Artificial Intelligence can disrupt and improve our experience with death and dying.
For the last twenty years, I’ve worked in media, healthcare, design, marketing, fintech, innovation consulting and Artificial Intelligence. I’ve founded four companies and an NGO pursuing these interests. The latest one, Eternime, is a pioneer in digital immortality and creates digital replicas of people based on their digital footprint. I also speak and mentor frequently at MIT, Singularity University, and other startup programs around the world.
I was born and raised in Romania but I’ve tried to see as much of the world as possible and expose myself to as many culture shocks as possible. I learned Spanish using Tinder in Chile. Ran a full-marathon in North Korea. Survived frog poison with the Matses tribe in the Amazon. Got scared by the Mursi tribe in Ethiopia. Cooked tajine for fishermen in Taghazout, Morocco. The best part of these adventures was meeting some of the most fascinating people on our planet and glimpsing into their lives.

I’m an entrepreneur with a tech background, but I have worked more on the business and product side thus it was natural that growth became my field of interest over time. I’m interested in how technology and automation improve business, impacts society and affects the world. I have founded 3 technology companies in both services and product, and have been consulting on growth, sales & marketing automation for various startups and organizations. I moved to South America in 2012 to reinvent myself and restart my own growth process in a new environment. I got involved as a mentor for several small and medium accelerators in the region as working with young entrepreneurs is a wonderful way to share know-how but also grow on a personal and professional level. Most of my time over the past 15 years has been spent in fintech, HR, and media but for the past 2 years, I have been involved in the beauty industry, focusing on the growth of BePretty, which has recently become Latin America’s largest marketplace for beauty services.
“We were fortunate enough to be selected for the John Keells X Accelerator as an idea stage startup and 6 months later we found ourselves growing fast with paying customers! We have been provided with access to mentors with industry knowledge as well as access to the finance and secretarial services at John Keells Holdings and most of all the office space based out of Crescat Boulevard. Much thanks to Wishanth and his team from JKX for supporting us on our journey ”
