As a Board Member, Anca Dragu will be in charge of Public Affairs, Regulatory, Communication and CSR, according to Newsenergy.ro. „After so many years of experience in the public sector at national and international level, it is challenging and a honor to be part of the leadership of such a large private company. The private sector is the most important in the economy, without it the public sector does not exist, so I think that the latter has to work in support and for the development of the former”, Anca Dragu told NewsEnergy.
