Welcome to My Corner of the Internet
Hi, I’m Catalin Costea – endlessly curious about the world and how things work. I’ve always seen myself as a polymath, a modern Renaissance thinker, if you will. For me, knowledge isn’t just something to collect; it’s a tool, a bridge, and a source of joy. I truly believe that everything we learn has a way of finding purpose in our lives, often in the most surprising ways.
Connecting the Dots
My journey has been anything but linear – it’s been a fascinating mix of roles, industries, and challenges, each adding a new dimension to how I see the world. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with global teams, managing large-scale programs and complex projects that span technology, business strategy, and organizational development. From shaping learning strategies at Saipem to driving multi-million-dollar projects at Oracle and managing global programs at Dell Technologies, I’ve led cross-functional teams, rolled out transformative initiatives, and developed solutions that align technology with business goals.
Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to work with brilliant minds across industries and the world’s leading academic institutions, solving big, knotty problems and sometimes creating entirely new paths forward. Since founding Frod Group in 2018, I’ve had the privilege of helping businesses and leaders explore new ideas, embrace technology, and turn ambitious visions into reality. Most recently, my collaboration with the NATO Innovation Hub has allowed me to contribute to forward-thinking solutions that address complex global challenges, blending innovation with strategy to create impactful outcomes.
But I’m not just about technology or strategy – I’m about stories. Whether it’s bringing people together around a shared challenge or finding unexpected connections between seemingly unrelated ideas, I’ve found that the best results often come from weaving together different perspectives.
What Drives Me
I’m an entrepreneur at heart. My journey has taken me from technical projects to boardroom discussions, and through it all, one thing has remained constant: my belief in the power of curiosity, collaboration, and action.
Peeling Back the Layers
When I’m not diving into the latest trends in technology or exploring innovative business models, you can usually find me exploring the world, learning something completely new, or having lively conversations about the future of, well, just about anything.
So, welcome – take a look around, and if you feel like reaching out, I’m always up for a good chat. This isn’t just a website; it’s a window into Catalin Costea the person – who I am and what I care about.
