Gabriela Roşca

Founder SMART HR Community

Twice a month, open to all members. Real dilemmas from the world of people management, discussed live — without the filter of hierarchy or corporate politics.

Quarterly, dedicated sessions for middle managers and for high-level managers. Structured peer exchange with professionals at your level, from different countries and industries.

Small-group format (5–10 participants), guided by an experienced coach or senior leader. A new group starts every month, running 5 sessions per cohort — deep, confidential work on the tensions people managers actually live with.

Quarterly exchanges among senior peers from comparable regional contexts — because a challenge in one market often has an answer in another.

Three times a year, in person. Legal issues, experience exchange, and the human connection that online can't fully replace.

Our flagship Event: international speakers, debate tracks, and the community coming together around the biggest questions in people management. Members receive exclusive discounts.

A rotating board of senior members (6-month mandates) who shape the community's direction — because SMART HR is built with its members, not just for them.

Recordings of debates and sessions, keynote videos, event presentations, practice guides (psychological safety, feedback), and community survey reports (pay transparency and more).

● Board Member Spotlight: DELIA IZVERNARI

SMART HR is delighted to welcome DELIA IZVERNARI to our Advisory Board!

Irina Străjescu - People & Communication @ Director Moldcell Foundation

Delia brings more than 20 years of HR leadership built from the ground up — from Recruiter to Country HR Director — across some of Romania's most complex international manufacturing environments. She has led HR organizations at Delphi and Aptiv, and today leads the HR function for Valeo Romania, partnering with executive leadership on business transformation, workforce strategy and organizational effectiveness across multiple manufacturing sites.

Her experience reaches well beyond Romania's borders: she has contributed to major Greenfield projects in Serbia (Novi Sad and Leskovac) and Ukraine (Cherkasy), building local HR capabilities and developing operational teams from the ground up as new plants came online.

Her focus spans HR strategy and operations, workforce planning, industrial relations, leadership development and employee experience — an approach rooted in pairing business understanding with operational excellence and a genuine, practical care for people.

Welcome aboard, Delia — we can't wait to see the perspective and energy you bring to SMART HR!
