💬 “I thought a safe job was everything. But a safe job actually kills a lot of opportunities.” – Robert Tanase, EMBA, Head of Liquidity Risk Management at UniCredit Bank Austria
🎙️ Today launched on LearnShift: A finance graduate from Bucharest who bet on himself, early. A risk specialist who crossed three countries to build one of banking’s most specialized careers. A Head of Department who went back to the classroom, mid-seniority, and came out seeing everything differently. Now: one of Austria’s leading voices in Liquidity Risk Management.
Robert’s 6 reflections that stayed with us:
1️⃣ A safe job kills opportunities: challenge yourself earlier than feels comfortable
2️⃣ The conflict-free consultancy team: the MBA ROI nobody puts in the brochure
3️⃣ International living as full-body learning: adaptation never stops at the office door
4️⃣ Less technical, more impactful: how the MBA changed how he speaks to his board
5️⃣ AI in banking: enormous potential, and a risk most institutions are still figuring out
6️⃣ Don’t wait for the right moment: just start, and integrate it as you go
💬 “You know you’ve truly learned something when you can explain it to someone else.”
Real stories. Real transformations. Real insights.
