About me

Currently Strategy Director @ Leo Burnett Romania
With 360 degrees of experience in strategy, from shopper to digital, ATL to dark markets Ioana covered all sorts of projects involving all types of disciplines of strategy. Regardless, I like to define myself as a Cultural Strategist because no matter the subdiscipline of the domain, culture was always the read thread I've been following in my work.
