Biography
Vlad Moldoveanu's height made him a natural on the court, but his smooth outside shot made him a standout. The Bucharest native took his game to the United States, honing his skills in the NCAA at George Mason and American University. Returning to Europe, he became a fixture for the Romanian national team and a leader for clubs like Dinamo Bucharest, where his scoring prowess from the power forward position was a consistent threat. His understanding of the game was always cerebral, which made his post-retirement pivot feel inevitable. Moldoveanu became a FIBA-licensed agent, founding VM Hoops Agency to guide the next generation of Romanian talent, trading jump shots for contract negotiations.
Millennials
1981–1996
The first digital natives. Grew up with the internet, came of age during 9/11 and the 2008 crash. Highly educated, deeply indebted, slower to marry and buy houses. Redefined work, identity, and what it means to be an adult.
Vlad was born in 1988, placing them squarely in the Millennials. The events that shaped this generation — the internet revolution, 9/11, and the 2008 financial crisis — shaped the world they entered and the choices available to them.
