“Last week I visited Bucharest, Romania to give the keynote speech at SEEPEA's "Building Bridges between Silicon Valley and South Eastern Europe" conference, which was organized by Irina Angel, Secretary General. Irina did an outstanding job in pulling together an excellent program, an outstanding portfolio of entrepreneur and investor speakers from the Valley and Romania, and also in leading the discussions throughout the day's activities. Irina also took the time to arrange a number of very useful and informative meetings with local incubators, universities, startups, and government officials. She is clearly very well regarded by Romania's business and government organizations, and has an outstanding professional network across the Europe venture capital, private equity and M&A communities. Through SEEPEA, Irina has also served as a partner to the Stanford School of Engineering during 2011 in our program on European entrepreneurship and innovation. Her talk at Stanford in February on the subject of venture finance in south eastern Europe was excellent, and very well received by our students, faculty and Silicon Valley professionals. I can recommend Irina in the highest terms as very smart and deeply experienced in global venture capital and M&A; hard working; a superb team player and industry partner; and most of all for her integrity, unsurpassed social skills and grace in working with people in times of stress and chaos. She is a delight to work with in all circumstances !!”
