Managing Partner & SaaS Podcast Host @ Tekpon
As one of the founding members of Tekpon, Cristian has worn many hats within the company, but perhaps none shines brighter than his role as the charismatic host of the Tekpon SaaS Podcast. With over 300 SaaS industry leaders gracing his episodes, Cristian’s insatiable curiosity ensures he always has one more question.
Cristian is a community builder at heart, being the Bucharest city leader for SaaStock Local and the author of the best-selling book King of Networking.
