We needed an executive with a deep knowledge of the technology industry ecosystem to implement this process and establish synergies with both the companies already acquired and the future entities that will join the group. Gabriela Mechea’s role will be to maximize collaboration and common advantages at the level of all companies, which will lead to the growth of their businesses and, implicitly, of the group.

“I am thrilled to join the 1,200+ colleagues in the AROBS Group and contribute to the growth and consolidation of the company. The success of AROBS is unique in the Romanian technology industry, with an organic growth that is hard to match, through expansion based on an accelerated acquisition process in Romania and abroad and innovation projects. Thus, I am honored to be appointed Integration Director“, stated Gabriela Mechea, Integration Director of AROBS Transilvania Software.

As Integration Director of AROBS, Gabriela Mechea will be responsible for harmonizing the activities of the companies acquired by the group in the last almost two years, as well as the entities that will join AROBS within the continuous growth process of the group through M&A transactions.
