Interview with
Roxana Stoica,
director of
.A.S.A. Romania
(.A.S.A. Servicii Ecologice SRL)
Have you been with .A.S.A. since it star-
ted operations in Romania
Yes, I’ve been with .A.S.A. since 202. I was
the frst employee at .A.S.A. Romania and I
currently am in charge of 120 employees in
four different locations in the country.
Why did you choose .A.S.A. and what do
you like most about your job?
To tell the truth, I suppose I should say that
.A.S.A. chose me. It was while I was wor-
king on my Masters degree in the Technical
University of Vienna, at the waste manage-
ment and water quality department. I met
several .A.S.A. representatives who offered
me the opportunity of gaining experien-
ce in the waste management department.
Shortly after the start of the Arad landfll
project, I was invited to join the team. I like
to be part of .A.S.A. because I have the

What is the biggest success story of

on waste management. We were pioneers
and educated our own employees as well
as public entities, commercial enterprises,
and the industry, showing them what can
be accomplished by having a service offe-
ring better quality. We have been fortuna-
te of having a team of employees who are
always willing to learn.
Do you believe that it is more diffcult for
a woman to work in a position such as
yours at the company?
Personally, I don’t have any problems with
my professional relations with men or wo-
men. I take my work like any other com-
pany manager and am always ready for a
new challenge. It is not diffcult for me sin-
ce I enjoy working in this industry and at
.A.S.A. I learned to adapt to people and to
the system. In certain occasions I met men
who were not willing to collaborate with me
as a person with authority but, thanks to
hard work and determination, I feel that I
am accepted by my colleagues in the in-
