Today we are introducing another international member of our team - Bogdan Todasca. Despite being a fairly green addition to the team, Bogdan joined SeeNext both as a SeeNews business journalist and an analytical researcher within the Insights department. This allows him to have his finger on the day-to-day pulse of Romania’s and Moldova’s business landscape by covering news, while also making sense of complex data and connecting the dots through tailored research, as well as industry-wide, or topic-specific analyses and reports.

"I have always enjoyed wearing several professional hats, but my passion for writing coupled with an analytical curiosity has always been the common denominator", Bogdan shared. "Getting to merge these is what drew me to SeeNext, where I get to zoom in on ongoing developments as a business journalist, which then organically feeds into capturing high-resolution snapshots of broader trends within the Insights team."

Of course, we asked him what "he sees next", and here is what he shared with us!

"We’re on the cusp of major transformations within the information landscape. As the medium changes, so will the message and we need reliable sense-making solutions in an information economy that is flooded by an abundance of data and rapidly turning into an attention economy. I think SeeNext has positioned itself as a sense-maker that is able to offer those very solutions and I’m excited to stay on top of upcoming events while striving to provide unbiased and reliable insights."

Meet the driving force behind SeeNext!
We sat down with Ivelina Lambova, Managing director of SeeNext, to chat about the change – what brought forward the need for the new brand identity, what it means for her and her team and what to expect next. But first… who is Ivelina Lambova?

Ivelina joined Updata One in 2013 with a solid Sales & Operations background in the fields of outsourcing, HR services and telecoms. In 2018 she took on the managing director role at SeeNews – Updata One’s Publishing and Business intelligence business. Ivelina is a seasoned leader in managing B2B and B2C business units, direct and indirect Strategy teams, building new teams and businesses as well as setting up operations.

Why SeeNext?

SeeNext starts from a solid foundation of many years of experience covering the key industries and topics in Southeast Europe and globally, knowledge in the respective markets and verticals, and data. It was about time for SeeNews, Renewables Now and our Research & Insights department to evolve and propose a portfolio positioned higher in the value chain. We cover the major business and political news from Southeast Europe, global renewables energy developments and M&A stories, we provide insight and we are ready to deep dive into correlations and trends.

SeeNext is about knowing to SEE and anticipating what comes NEXT in the business world.

What about the team?

I truly believe that brands are made for and from the people. It may sound like a cliché, but this evolution wouldn’t be possible without the talented people that we have on board. Every single employee we have is exceptional in something of vital importance for our operation. That’s how a winning team looks like in my opinion, a combination of bright minds ready to work for a common goal and cause. We will continue to embrace cross-functional talents, develop and train people’s skills, encourage and empower them to be innovative, committed to clients and exceptional experts in the domains they excel in.

What comes NEXT?

A challenging future lies ahead. Not only in geopolitical terms. Some of the economies, markets and industries we monitor are not in a good shape, while others are booming. We are part of global business change dynamics that accelerate tremendously as we speak, driven by digital transformation, climate change, and new regulations on how to do business and be sustainable. All this makes our work so exciting and rewarding.

We help business communities make the right decisions in these turbulent times and we will continue to do so as SeeNext!
