That division had decided to go to Orange, the largest local telecom, when it bought Telekom’s fixed operations eighteen months ago.
Several telecom industry sources told ZF that more than 30 people of Orange’s team went back to Telekom Mobile along with Traistaru. The key people that returned include Cristina Burlacioiu – data scientist lead, Simona Stancu – digital website & call center sales manager and Roxana Ceialacu, lead agile coach.
“After almost one year and a half in Orange Group, I decided to go back to Telekom Romania Mobile. I was really grateful that almost all of my team accepted to follow me back. So, starting on February 1, 2023, the Digital Division, which in October 2021 moved fully to Orange, is now moving back to Telekom Romania Mobile,” Gabriel Traistaru, who became digital director of Telekom Romania Mobile again, said in a LinkedIn post.
Eighteen months ago, more than 70 people had left Telekom for Orange as part of Gabriel Traistaru’s team, as ZF found.
