Commercial, Matchday Operations – Uniti pentru Mihai (Feb 2018 – May 2018)

Since 2017, I’ve been permanently consulting Mihai Dolinschi, sport journalist and analyst.

I’m also permanently supporting Mihai with the creation of graphics and assets for his pages when required and acting as a permanent support for his brand management.
