Rodica has held various positions for the past 30 years within Telecoms and various assignments including the management of operational structures and complex international transverse projects
She is an expertise of telecommunication Business development, strategy definition in number of countries in Africa, and Europe.
She is the Founder of Vlad Danciu Memorial Foundation
I’m a mother. My unique child, my son Vlad passed away. People say that it was the God plan.
I know that the reasons were numerous like the fast speed of the car, the driver sleepiness, the lack of emergency help at the crash place and not any nurse or doctor in Mtito Andei where the bodies have been moved by a Samaritan car. Flying doctors informed us that they can take off only after the reception of the flight payment confirmation by fax … I was in the middle of nowhere, how to send a fax? The plane arrived in the crash area 6 hours after the first help call request but was too late for Vlad.
Every day a crash happens on the Mombasa –Nairobi road or in another part of the country …
Never again! This is my motivation for this Foundation.
