Ruxandra Dariescu
Agility Business Performance Coach and Product Management Consultant
Apply for this mentor
Short Bio:
I offer a combined 25 years of multi-disciplinary business management and life scientist experience, and I believe the work has to have a purpose greater than generating an income.
I teach, coach or lead with the same amount of passion. My work resulted in launching 10 different products, transforming 200 software products, and transforming 2 organisations for scale-up. I am a certified "Impacting Leaders Coach" and received a Global Award from Brainz CREA for "creative and innovative ideas, adaptability in business, or contributions to sustainability and mental health projects". (https://www.brainzmagazine.com/crea-global-awards-2021/ruxandra-dariescu)
Recently I launched Deliverability™, a tool that helps Business and Agile Coaches and Program, Project, and Product Managers to understand a team's interaction patterns and create more profound and meaningful relationships that naturally deliver.
I speak at conferences and give media interviews on product management topics, the impact of AI at the organisational level, or coaching strategies.
How I am seen by the people I work with:
Gabriel Sobolu, CTO - "Ruxandra's experience and contribution to the transformation path of our organisation have been extraordinary. We have overcome with ease such incredible challenges during a very unusual year. Thank you for all your help, and I hope we will work together again."
Alina Tirla, Client Partner Lead - "Working closely with Ruxandra, you realize that you don't have to be afraid of change, transformation and/or progress. She helped me realize that I have all the resources necessary to face transformations. I need to self-discover the potential, skills, and knowledge essential to achieve all my goals. Moreover, another quality stands out: her relentless desire to share her knowledge with others, discover their strengths, and cultivate them further to bring them to the heights of success."

My ideal mentee:
Mentorship is a two-way process. There should be less emphasis on a promotion but rather describing what growth looks like. I believe in reverse mentorship in learning also from the mentee. Together we can grow. One needs to be open to discuss areas that require additional work. The mentee should be capable of creating her/his portfolio and measure for success. Retaining this portfolio requires a commitment to one's self.
