This year, marking 30 years of Microsoft’s presence in Romania, this commitment is stronger than ever. In my new role, I look forward to working closely with customers, partners, and public institutions to help organisations harness cloud and AI technologies in ways that deliver real value, build resilience, and drive sustainable economic growth. Digital transformation is not just about technology. It is about trust, skills, and long-term partnerships, and this is the approach Microsoft is taking today and will continue in the years ahead,” said Gabriela Popescu.
