FEB 2008
Bogdan Vasilescu (Consulting and Valuation, New York)
has been at Starwood in Feasibility for almost 3½
years now and was promoted to Senior Director in August
of last year.
On the personal level - most of his time away from work
is spent taking care of the boys; that is very labor intensive,
so, unfortunately, at the end of the day, he and his wife
are too tired to do anything else other than rest.
They took their first vacation together, as a foursome,
last June; spent a week at Rocking Horse Ranch, a family-resort
in Highland, NY, about an hour NW from Scarsdale. They
haven't decided what they want to do this year. His wife,
Maura was talking about a Disney cruise with the extended
family. |
