@laurentiuursu

I am an experienced consultant in shipping, logistics, and maritime affairs.

What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles in shipping, logistics or maritime consultancy where I can lead operations, drive international trade, and apply cybersecurity/blockchain knowledge in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am an experienced professional with a strong background in shipping, logistics, port affairs, global management and commodities trading. I have broad experience in consultancy, negotiation, maritime affairs, import & export activities and have held senior operational and managerial roles across Romania and Brussels.

Since 2018 I have worked as a consultant, following roles as General Manager, Project Manager, Country Manager and Operations Manager. I combine hands-on industry knowledge with recent study in Cyber Security and Blockchain, and I communicate fluently in English while remaining focused on delivering measurable business results.
