From Romania to Silicon Valley: A young Romanian entrepreneur builds on his patented posture correction technology

The life of young Ion-Alexandru Secara took a new turn in the final year of university when he was accepted into a very competitive internship program in Silicon Valley. In the meantime, he developed a technology that helps users correct their posture while working in front of a computer, and got his research patented in the US.

Ion-Alexandru Secara, 21, was born in the small Romanian city of Tecuci but moved to Tbilisi with his parents when he was 13 years old. He went to high school in the Georgian capital and then chose to continue his studies at the University of St. Andrews in the UK.
