Background and founding
Irina Arsene's early career
Irina Arsene is a Romanian-born entrepreneur and computer-science engineer.

After graduating, she rose through management roles at a UK-headquartered IT and telecommunications company, eventually becoming a director, board member, and shareholder. When that company was sold, she accepted a buyout and began her entrepreneurial path.[5][2]
Mindit Consulting (2013)
In 2013, Arsene founded Mindit Consulting, a pre-employment screening and candidate-profile verification company based in Bucharest, Romania — the first such business in Romania according to EY Romania.[5] Constrained by a non-compete clause from her previous employer, she initially moved into the HR-adjacent services sector before returning to technology.[5]
