Cristian Barbu – Founder & Managing Partner IT Smart Systems
More than 19 years ago, Cristi founded IT Smart Systems and grew it into the digital business transformation company it is now, reinventing himself and the company many times along the way.
An IT Software Developer at heart, Cristi manages to inspire people every day since, with his relentless optimism, energy, and determination. His visionary approach led the company to become a top fintech player in the country over the past three years. Therefore, ITSS became an important voice in the Open Banking emerging ecosystem in Romania, celebrating its new innovative fintech solutions: SmartPG (the most performant Romanian Integration Hub), and Ryke (the first Romanian open banking PFM app addressed to the general public).
