The company New Business Dimensions announces the change of ownership

The company New Business Dimensions (NBD), a market leader in the niche of statutory reporting and business intelligence for the financial-banking sector, announces the change of the company’s shareholding.

Thus, the new NBD shareholder structure includes Emanuel Oană, CEO, and pre-existing shareholder. Emanuel Oană increases his holdings to 55% of the share capital, becoming the majority shareholder.

“The new shareholders of NBD will keep the current management team, which will be strengthened with new members, especially in the financial and business development fields, but will continue with the same operational model that has brought results in the last 12 years. The new, more flexible shareholding structure will make strategic decisions easier to take and apply, provide more stability, and allow the drawing of more coherent and ambitious local and regional development plans. The company is solid and mature, having an extensive enterprise customer base. We are enjoying growth across all segments, reflected in turnover and profitability. I am glad about Marius Ionescu’s decision to join NBD. He has relevant experience in the financial-banking field, and I am convinced that together we will create a better future for the company, employees, and customers and maximize NBD’s potential regionally”, says Emanuel Oană, majority shareholder and CEO of NBD.

During this time, he built management teams and developed regional sales teams for bank treasury and derivative financial products addressed to corporate clients. After co-founding Pluridio nine years ago, is currently involved in several companies operating in the IT&C field.
