Welcome to our 100th episode and the first - in English!
We are interviewing Laurentiu Matei - ERP&BI Director in eMAG - one of the largest eCommerce companies in our part of Europe. He started just like many of us - as a nerd, excited with early computers (ZX Spectrum in his case).
Then he went through a typical career path - from the developer, through team leader, manager of managers, and now - he leads a division that delivers crucial information for large a corporation to navigate the rough seas of multinational business.
On a personal note, at one point in time, Laurentiu was the manager and mentor for both Krzysztof and Paweł.
In this episode, Laurentiu offers real gems of knowledge - how to shape your career path, work with people and business, be prepared for anything that comes your way - and many more!
