Message from the Chairman and CEO

Octavian Scutelnicu

In 2008, our economy saw itself seriously affected by the financial crisis and a strong falling off of activity.  The global dimension of this crisis, and the interaction between difficulties in the financial system and the real economy, make for a situation of such complexity that it has no precedent.

In this uncertain environment, Westbridge’s performance illustrates the solidity of our business model and is fruit of our commitment to sustainability over the past four years.   In the current, extremely complex economic world financial environment, I would like to thank our Alliance Business Partners, that participate in Westbridge’s model and business projects that I am proud to oversee. 

We are positioned, as leaders, pioneers and innovators, at the epicenter of growth for the near future: Infrastructure, Energy and Specialized Services.

With the commitment of our exceptional team of professionals and managers and the trust of the Board of Directors, which I have the honor of chairing, Westbridge will emerge stronger from the current situation knowing how to make the most of the opportunities.  Our balanced approach to development is for the benefit of future generations.
