In 2007, Petru Vaduva returned in Romania as Chief Investment Officer at Intreprid GEM.

“I am confident that the appointment at Tiriac Holdings management is a positive strategic step, both for the team I will be part of, and for me personally. I am confident that the accustomedness and flexibility I have gained in economic, financial or legislative fields will help me achieve the business objectives I have set alongside Tiriac Holdings’ shareholders”, Vaduva said in a statement.
