Vlad Micu takes up the role of General Manager for Banca Transilvania Group's INNO Investments division.
Under the leadership of Vlad Micu, CEO and Chairman of INNO Investments—a Romanian alternative investment fund manager and part of the Banca Transilvania Group—there is a strong strategic focus on growing the alternative investment fund management business in Romania[1][2].
This focus is driven by the potential for growth in the market of alternative investment funds in Romania, which is at an early stage of development compared to open-end investment funds or EU-level specialized markets[2].
Specifically, the growth potential is focused on the private equity and venture capital segments, which offer significant medium- and long-term growth opportunities in Romania compared to more mature markets in the EU[1][2]. INNO Investments is considering creating thematic funds or sectoral approach funds to support growth in these areas.
Another key aspect of the strategy is to complement and broaden the financial services and product offerings of the Banca Transilvania Group by integrating alternative investment solutions[1][2].
Vlad Micu brings nearly 30 years of experience in corporate banking, investment banking, trade finance, and business development, which positions him strategically to lead INNO Investments in capturing this growing market[1][2]. The company, which was formerly known as OTP Asset Management Romania S.A.I, underwent rebranding in June 2025 after Banca Transilvania acquired all OTP Group entities in Romania[2].
In June 2025, INNO Investments also received authorization from the Financial Supervisory Authority (ASF) as an Alternative Investment Fund Administrator[1]. Vlad Micu has also been appointed as the general manager and chairman of the Board of Directors of INNO Investments[1].
Under Micu's leadership, INNO Investments aims to capitalize on Romania’s nascent but promising alternative investment market by focusing on private equity and venture capital, creating sector-specific funds, and supporting entrepreneurial growth, thereby expanding Banca Transilvania’s broader financial ecosystem[1][2].

Investing in the private equity and venture capital segments presents significant medium- and long-term growth opportunities for INNO Investments, given the early stage of development of the alternative investment fund market in Romania. Under Vlad Micu's leadership, INNO Investments plans to capitalize on this market by creating thematic funds or sectoral approach funds to support growth in these areas, thereby expanding the financial ecosystem of the Banca Transilvania Group and offering various financial services and products.
