I just got back from the Tekpon AI Summit.

And I'm reminded why I love these events.

It's not the panels. It's not the keynotes.

It's the conversations in between.

The people you meet at the coffee station. The random chat that turns into a 30-minute deep dive about a problem you're both solving.

Shoutout to Alexandru Stan and Cristian Dina for making this happen
and everyone else who supported them to make it memorable.

What I didn't do once:

Pitch my service. 
Hand out business cards like flyers. 
Ask for anything.

Because that's not how real relationships work.

Think about it like dating. 

You wouldn't walk up to someone and immediately ask them to marry you. You wouldn't spend the entire first conversation talking about yourself and what you need.

That's what most people do at networking events. They pitch before they know your name. They hand you a card before they ask what you do.

It's the business equivalent of proposing on a first date.

The best connections I made? 

They happened when I was genuinely curious about what someone else was building. When I shared a resource that might help them. When I listened more than I talked.

One conversation led to an intro. Another turned into a follow-up call next week. A third might lead nowhere, and that's fine too.

The people who showed up trying to sell something? They left with nothing.

The people who showed up to learn and connect? They left with relationships.

Networking isn't about what you can get today. It's about who you can help, what you can learn, and the trust you build over time.

That's what makes these events worth it.

If you're heading to a summit or conference soon, forget the pitch. Show up curious. Be helpful. Build real connections.

The opportunities will follow.

Clay Club is hitting Bucharest again. 

And this time, i'm co-hosting with legends like

Bill Stathopoulos, the CEO of SalesCaptain
Frank Sondors 🥓, Founder and CEO of Salesforge 🔥

And the most brilliant minds in AI and GTM that are comming all around the world. 

This event will be packed with golden nuggets about:

1. Website Visitor Tracking → 
How to turn anonymous traffic into named accounts you can actually reach

2. Competitor Follower Targeting → 
Steal (legally) your competitor's audience and convert them

3. Theo's SEO Play → 
The Clay workflow that's scaling content without the agency overhead

4. HubSpot Lead Scoring → 
Automate qualification so your sales team talks to real buyers only. No theory. No death-by-Clay-table. Just workflows you can steal and implement Monday morning.  

Join us on 26th November in Bucharest, here: https://luma.com/zmwxzvvp

PS: There's free pizza too.

Last week I co-hosted the Clay [Club] Bucharest with Bill Stathopoulos and Frank Sondors 🥓

Full house. Standing room only by the time we started.

This wasn't just another meetup. We brought together some of the sharpest minds in sales automation and AI-driven outreach for a hands-on session that pushed everyone's thinking on prospecting.

What we covered:

• Real Clay workflows that actually convert
• Live demos of strategies we use daily
• The future of GTM and where automation is heading
• Practical use-cases that people are implementing right now

Bill and Frank delivered some of the best presentations I've seen on this topic. 

The energy in the room when they broke down their systems was electric.

Everyone got direct access to ask questions and connect with people solving the same problems they are.

Getting Bill and Frank both in one room in Bucharest was rare. The depth of knowledge they shared about scaling outreach without scaling headcount was exactly what this community needed.

We kept it small on purpose. No lecture from the stage. Just real value and real conversations.

Already hearing from people implementing what they learned.

If you missed it, keep an eye out for the next one.

Bucharest showed up.

I have successfully managed teams of 100+ individuals, closed deals worth up to $1.2 million, and even had the privilege of serving as Mr. Marriott's personal server.

While my professional life is thriving, my 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 is being a mom to my energetic 6-year-old, Axel. Balancing the demands of work and family brings joy and fulfillment. In my downtime, I love to hit the range 🏌️‍♀️, snuggle my two dogs, and even make it to the beach for sunrise occasionally.

My guiding motto is simple yet powerful: "𝑰𝒇 𝑰 𝑪𝒂𝒏'𝒕, 𝑴𝒚 𝑵𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝑪𝒂𝒏." I believe in teamwork and collaboration. By working together and using the strengths of our network, we can accomplish remarkable things. Building 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 is important to me, and I'm dedicated to making a 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 on the lives of those I work with.
