Tudor Manea, the general manager of eMAG, the biggest online retailer in Romania, has taken over as CEO of the company from Iulian Stanciu, who will serve as executive chairman, according to Romania-Insider.com.
The appointment comes as the retailer announced “an evolution of the executive team that will lead the regional expansion of the company” and investments amounting to over RON 3.2 billion (EUR 655,737,704) in the next three years to support the accelerated development of e-commerce.
Manea, 37, has been working with eMAG for 16 years, the last six as general manager. He worked on setting up eMAG’s technology department and the company’s international expansion. “He was the 23rd employee of eMAG and grew together with the company. When he joined the company, the team had just over 20 people and, although his role was in the IT team, on the way home, he delivered packages to customers, like the other colleagues,” the company said. Manea specialized in IT after graduating from the Faculty of Electronics of the Polytechnic University of Bucharest. He later continued his education in eMAG with an EMBA from the Maastricht School of Management and several executive programs at Stanford University, USA.
Iulian Stanciu will remain involved in shaping the development strategy of the company as well as in analyzing and approving the investments and budgets next to the new CEO.
