About this event

Hey, dear grinders,

We want to grow a strong community in Moldova, this is the reason why we accepted the challenge to organize each month in Chisinau, great fireside chats with great people. In May we prepared a special event for you and we invited a female founder, Doina Ciobanu.

Doina has been recognized by the likes of Vogue, Forbes, Elle, GQ and Harper’s Bazaar. With public speaking experience at events such as We Summit and the Festival of Marketing, and hosting and presenting at Social City London and WGSN Future Awards, Doina is part of the new “millennials” that recognize and harness the power of social media. She has been named by Forbes as one of the top 19 Young Entrepreneurs of Romania, twice as one of Romania’s most influential fashion icons, and twice for 'Best Personal Style' by Elle.

Doina has worked with luxury fashion brands as diverse as Agent Provocateur, Fendi and Versace, was the first ever digital influencer to be the face of a Paul Smith campaign, and has worked with beauty brands such as L’Oréal and Bobbi Brown. Despite being on a plane each second week, photographing by day and attending London’s key social events by night, Doina is also currently completing a bachelor degree in political science and diplomacy.

Doina is represented by NEXT Models worldwide.

Join us for an amazing evening with Doina and learn how to become successful, more about modeling and business in this field.
