Team building

Florin Ioan Petean

Executive Director

I believe in the power each of us possesses. That we can make the world we live in a better place if we start the change with ourselves.

I contribute as a facilitator, coach, and consultant. I help those I interact with unlock and showcase their potential in everyday life.

I lead various organizations, including CDM as Executive Director since 1997. I have been a member of the Board of Directors of OD Network Europe since 2021 and co-chair since April 2023. I was also a member of the Board of HR Club between 2008 and 2022. I learn every day. I graduated in Automation and Computers in 1990. In 1994, I completed an intensive "Train the Trainers" program and obtained a "Diploma in Management Development" in 1997, both at Roffey Park Institute, UK. I earned my PhD in Management in 2016.

Her preferred topics include leadership, interpersonal relationships, change management, etc., addressed in integrated programs consisting of several modules, with supporting activities interspersed between modules and tracking practical application.

She is passionate about understanding human nature and aims to create an atmosphere in her programs where participants feel comfortable, allowing open and sincere discussions.
