Cristian Miculi-Pop’s Summary

I worked in the publishing area for about 3 years. This experience gave me the chance to complement my advanced technical skills by developing my writing capabilities, getting in contact with the latest technologies available on the market and interacting with people from the business' point of view.

I also have some product management experience at an online shop, which helped me better understand the things behind an e-Commerce site and the distribution channel philosophy. My business skills were also improved, especially on the segmenting and negotiation areas.

My true professional goal is working in the marketing field; that's why I got out of the publishing industry. I like working with people for people.

I'm currently in charge of the Avangate Affiliate Network, coordinating the actions related to gathering, matching and offering new opportunities to affiliates.
