Customer focus and excellence in service delivery remain our number one driving force as we aim to grow this operation substantially over the next couple of years.”

“I am very proud to spearhead our expansion into Romania as a founding member of our Romanian team,” says Gabriela Balanescu, Senior Manager of HR & Operations for GlobalStep Technologies SRL. “The long-term vision of bringing together a pool of talented and passionate people in Romania in order to positively impact one of the fastest growing industries both locally and abroad is very exciting.
