iO Partners, JLL preferred partner in Romania, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, has appointed Andrei Văcaru as Regional Head of Capital Markets for CEE. He has been working for the agency in Romania for the past 16 years.


During his tenure within the Capital Markets team, Văcaru closed deals amounting to over €1.8 billion. As Regional Head, he will be responsible for overseeing iO Partners' capital markets activities across the region.

“I truly believe that with challenging times come opportunities and so my goal is to guide the team towards a market leading position by leveraging our strengths – the regional presence, the experience and seniority of the people, the ability to provide smarter and best in class services as well as the intense motivation. Central to achieving this is my vision of bringing our CEE team together as one and the very close relationship with our JLL colleagues across EMEA,” said Văcaru.

iO Partners has its HQ in Vienna and is planning to expand in the region going forward.
