Her roles have spanned Consultant, Senior Consultant/Principal, Head of Practice, and Partner, allowing her to develop deep expertise in identifying, assessing, and placing top-tier leadership talent.

Her reputation is built on efficiency, creativity, and transparency, with a straightforward approach to both clients and candidates, ensuring long-lasting, mutually beneficial leadership solutions.

“As Romania’s business environment evolves, organizations require executive search partners who not only understand the local talent landscape but also have a global perspective,” said Filip Nemteanu, Managing Partner, Selion Global Romania. “After a very successful 2024 launch year, our focus in 2025 is on expanding and increasing our market share, which is crucial for a startup. At the same time, we aim to solidify our position in the local executive search and leadership services sector, maintaining high international standards while preserving a boutique-style approach, where service quality and attention to both client and candidate are very important. Additionally, we seek to diversify our service offerings, especially in leadership services, where we have a high degree of flexibility and provide customized solutions tailored to our clients’ specific needs. Thus, our goal is not to standardize these services but to explore multiple options, all for the benefit of the client. Cristina is one of the most experienced consultants in the local market and her commitment to leadership excellence aligns perfectly with our philosophy of delivering tailored, high-value leadership solutions. Her addition to our team is part of our development plan, alongside our commitment to elevating the level of services we provide. We are happy to welcome her to the team.”

Cristina’s appointment also enhances Selion’s capabilities in executive assessment and career management services, ensuring that companies not only attract top talent but also nurture and retain high-potential leaders through structured development programs.

We are courageous in being honest and vulnerable, in taking responsibility, and we share the same passion for genuinely listening to the voices of our clients and candidates. We always feel honored and privileged by the trust they place in us by sharing their stories. Mihai and Filip have built, in just one year, a business context based on giving, stability, and inclusivity. My intention is to continue building a broader community together, one founded on authentic and committed connections.”
