We Welcome George Făcăeru as Vice President of Sales

We’re thrilled to announce that George Făcăeru has joined the HarborLab team as our new Vice President of Sales!

George brings a wealth of experience and a track record of growth-oriented leadership. He’s held key sales and business development roles at top industry players including Spire Global (Maritime BU), CENTUM Group (the Research & Technology unit) and the Securitas Group. Most recently, as VP of Global Sales at Spire Maritime, George helped scale the business and expand the global reach—accelerating growth at a pivotal time for the company.

Beyond his impressive sales credentials, George is a thoughtful advocate for the power of AI. He believes that AI-driven systems augment human intelligence and can fundamentally enhance how we work and live. This aligns seamlessly with HarborLab’s vision to evolve our platform into a comprehensive, end-to-end AI-powered tool for disbursement management.

Early in his career, George also served as a diplomat for Romania’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs—bringing strategic insight, international flair, and a talent for strong, global partnerships.

At a moment when HarborLab is accelerating development, expanding our capabilities, and working toward delivering more robust, AI-enabled solutions to customers, George’s expertise is both timely and transformative. We’re confident his leadership will energize our team, deepen our market connections, and help us reach new heights.

“Our mission is to bring transparency and efficiency to maritime operations, and strong leadership in sales is critical to achieving that,” said Antonis Malaxianakis, CEO of HarborLab. “We are excited to welcome George to the team as we continue scaling globally and delivering value to our clients.”
