Luiza Oprisan has left Kanal D — where she was the Head of Legal for Romania — to pursue a calling in the NGO world.
Prior to joining Kanal D, Oprisan worked as the Deputy Legal Director of Vimetco Management, as a Deputy Manager, Tax and Legal with PwC, as the Head of International Law Office with BANCOREX, and as a Judge with the Bucharest Sectors 1 and 2 and Tulcea Courts. She also spent several years in Montreal, Canada, working as an Assistant Manager/Human Resources with B.E.S.T. Security.
Oprisan spoke with CEE Legal Matters about the change. “October 22nd represents a new beginning in my professional life,” she said, “as I have ended my collaboration with Kanal D Romania and I am taking with me the experience in the field of television industry as a Head of Legal and as an employee of a large corporation. In the life of each professional comes a time when you are thinking to free yourself from a matrix corporation and to start your own enterprise or to become part of a private, dynamic, healthy, creative, and respectful organization to its human resources and to the environment. The time has come for such a change for me. I have started the registration of a few projects as private organizations/enterprises such as: a management and affairs consultancy Ltd, a NGO active in the human rights field, and a mediator office.”
“I hope and I know that success will arise in these fields,” she continued, “but mostly I hope that people working with me and for them will feel that they are respected, appreciated, motivated by the creativity of their projects, by the flexible working schedule, and by fair financial compensation. I hope to be able to provide another kind of enterprise model as an alternative for the models existing already. There are also emerging alternative models centered on human spiritual needs and personal and professional development creating a healthy and financially rewarding environment — models approached by new wisdom-centered enterprises in the world.”
The Kanal D television station in Romania is owned by Dogan Media International S.A. – a subsidiary of Dogan Yayin Holding, the biggest media group in Turkey. Oprisan’s role, at least on an interim basis, will be filled by her former second in command, Ioana Gherman.
