A Day In The Future

I am the host of A Day In The Future, a podcast about imagination, innovation, technology, and the future outlook on life. My curious self led me to start this podcast because I believe that curiosity is the key element that drives innovation.

The podcast was created from a burning desire to find out more about what the future lies ahead, having some of the greatest minds lead the way through this journey.

It is about challenging the status quo and envisioning a better future through the help of technology. 

Spend a day in the future with each of our visionary guests, the ones who can most accurately predict the future of their domains, without any limitations. Push the barriers of imagination and hop on this time-traveling odyssey with us.

Founder | Helping bold innovators build successful products | Validation-driven mindset | Podcast Host

I am a co-founder and CEO at Linnify, a global technology partner that helps visionary companies accelerate their digital development initiatives. With a background spanning law, business, and product strategy, I’ve been deeply involved in shaping Linnify’s validation-first approach to building scalable digital products, including the widely adopted Validation Playbook designed to achieve early product-market alignment.

I’ve led Linnify’s international expansion, including the launch of our U.S. office in Austin. As a Forbes 30 Under 30 Romania alumnus, I also host A Day in the Future.

Beyond Linnify, I actively advise and invest in early-stage startups focused on healthtech, edtech, and the future of work.
