iO Partners has announced the appointment of Andrei Vacaru as Managing Director in Romania from January 1, 2026.
Vacaru is set to take over from Vlad Stanislav, who “will take some time off before pursuing new opportunities.” The company added that Vacaru will continue to lead the CEE Capital Markets team while taking on his new role.
According to the company, Vacaru’s “appointment marks a natural evolution for someone who has been part of the company’s backbone for 18 years. He is one of the most consistent reference points for colleagues and clients alike throughout every phase of the organization’s evolution, from its JLL heritage to the formation and growth of iO Partners. His experience spans multiple market cycles, structural shifts, and strategic transitions, giving him a deep understanding of how the business operates and what it needs to perform at its best.”
“Andrei has shaped this organization in ways few people have, and his judgment has been a stabilizing force through every transition we’ve gone through,” commented iO Partners CEO Charles Boudet. “His appointment brings the continuity and market understanding we need as we move into the next phase of growth.”
“Stepping into this role feels like a natural continuation of the work we’ve been building for many years,” added Vacaru. “I’ve worked through many stages of this company’s development, and that perspective helps me understand what differentiates us and what makes us strong. We have skilled people, solid partnerships, and a clear direction. My focus now is to bring stability where it’s needed and pace where it matters.”
