In this episode of Interlinks, I talk to Stelian Ciorogariu, Country Manager for Romania and Business Development Manager for Central and Eastern Europe for Slimstock.

Slimstock is a Dutch company that operates worldwide specializing in supply chain optimization and inventory management software which provides tools for inventory forecasting, demand planning, sales and operations planning and supply chain management.

Stelian has been instrumental in leading Slimstock’s expansion in Romania and coordinating the company’s activities to support local businesses with supply chain solutions.

The Eastern European region is a highly diverse region with many languages and cultures and is one that, despite challenges and difficulties since the fall of Communism, is developing fast and offers many opportunities for business in these times of geopolitical uncertainty and supply chain realignment.

Stelian's home, Romania is a fascinating Eastern European country with a romance language and Latin culture akin to Italy, Spain, and Portugal, that joined the European Union in 2007. As a consequence, Romania is now emerging as a location with many advantages for nearshoring manufacturing and service operations within the European Union in these time of geopolitical tensions and supply chain realignments.

Among other advantages, Romania has a highly educated workforce with good language skills, possesses good rail and road connections to the rest of the European Union, and has huge resources of under-exploited fertile agricultural land.

It is not surprising therefore, that there is great interest in Romania in best practices in supply chain management and Stelian Ciorogariu is very well positioned an en experienced supply chain professional at the centre of that development.

In this conversation, Stelian shares with me his perspectives on all of these angles.
