Miruna Pandele As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I think I have a coloring book from when I was 7 years old and I was asked this question and I wrote “happy.” And I’m grateful enough to have a job that I love at Rainbet and I’m part of a great team — so I achieved it. What’s a book you’d recommend to anyone in this industry? Definitely Milena Petrovska’s Biggest Innovations in the iGaming Industry Since 2000: It was launched around the same time when I joined the industry and helped me understand how things work in this vertical. It’s also informative for people who want to understand the history of iGaming. If someone flew in to visit you in Romania, what does the 24-hour itinerary look like? I’m lucky here, I live in what is considered the most beautiful city in Romania, Sinaia. So, that is always the highlight when people come visit. In 24 hours, we’d land in Bucharest, stop for a quick tour of the Parliament house, then go to my home city by train which would be one hour. There, we’d see Peleș Castle, the city center, and the scenic mountain road Transbucegi, top three most beautiful in the country, all the way to a stunning lake in the middle of the mountains, Bolboci Lake, which is 30 minutes from my city. Then a quick detour to Dracula’s Castle, an hour from Sinaia, and back to Bucharest. If there’s any time left we end the day at Therme, close to the airport — Europe’s largest spa and water park. If you could have dinner with three people, living or deceased, who would you pick and why? Tough one. Probably Vlad Țepeș, the inspiration for Dracula, a huge historical figure in my country, to check if vampires are real. The second would be Princess Diana; I was always inspired by her kindness. Last but not least, my grandfather on my dad’s side as he died before I was born. Tell us one thing about yourself that nobody reading this would ever guess. I’m a pro PlayStation gamer, not sure if I gave that out. It’s all a game of knowing the right people and being patient. ROI doesn’t come overnight. You have to value trial and error and work on constantly bettering your system to drive results. Data analysis is underrated and always helps when done properly. 67 GPWAtimes.org
