Hi there! I’m Ionut Turlea, an experienced Sales and Business Development professional with a passion for AI, Technology, and Innovation.
But first and foremost, I am a father, husband, tattoo lover, amateur triathlete.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping startups, SMEs, and enterprise-level clients navigate the complex world of closing deals, and generate revenue through software products and services.
I bring a methodical, creative and results-driven approach to each endeavour i take on.

I’m particularly passionate about the transformative role AI plays in today’s organizations and business landscape.
That is why I am continually exploring how organizations can leverage AI to stay competitive, optimize processes, and drive growth.
My approach is creative yet methodical, and I enjoy taking on complex challenges with a balance of creativity and precision.

Whether it's aligning with a client’s vision or piecing together a complex sales strategy, I am motivated by a commitment to make things happen.
What truly excites me is connecting the dots: understanding what makes people "click" and fostering meaningful connections.
