We are enthusiastic
About the connection between new business models in Romania and CEE and the personalities involved in creating and applying them. Our broad C – level network and knowledge plus access to start-ups and entrepreneurs across Romania speaks for itself.
We are local and global and up to date
Through our company history since 2008 and the operational engagement of City Compass co-founder Volker Moser with the market leading business publication Romania Insider, we have been reflecting on Romania´s status quo in business and politics for more than a decade. City Compass’ expat and travel guide in English, launched in 2009 and published annually, has been incorporated into and is part of the media activities of Romania Insider, the largest media in English dedicated to Romania.
Working together with people from other cultures and countries
On a day-to-day basis made us aware of the importance of the virtual division of labor and online communication with colleagues early on and became a fundamental part of the team setup of our projects since 2010.We enjoy providing consulting and coaching services to specialists and executives in regards to their individual objectives and to their purpose, mission and vision for their teams.
Our passion
Is to bring our hands-on experiences as entrepreneurs to the table – online or onsite. Our mission is to make people feel at home in Romania, and to help Romanian citizens and business people to be self – aware of their talents when representing Romania abroad. Above all, both our co-founders Volker and Christian have been shaped by business experiences from a wide range of industries, countries and people of different origins and different cultures involved.
