RGA is a non-profit organization based on the volunteering, involvement and financial contributions of its members. The majority of RGA members are involved in other activities (businesses, jobs & more). That’s why it is extremely important that its members allocate whatever free time they have to RGA activities.


For 2023, these RGA members have expressed their desire to voluntarily allocate part of their personal time for the management of RGA:

Florin Segarceanu needs no introduction – he is widely renowned for being one of the best tennis players in the world that Romania has ever offered. He was a multiple national, European and a triple university champion. He played ATP tournaments starting 1980 up until 1992. While on the ATP Tour, he was ranked inside top 100 players in the world for more than 5 years. He obtained the best result of his generation, namely the qualification in the first 8 teams worldwide, together with Ilie Năstase. In 1995 he became the non-playing captain and coach of the Romanian Davis Cup team, and since, the Romanian team has constantly been among the top 16 teams in the world. Starting 1999, Florin dedicated his time to investing in education, real estate development and golf. He aims to gather all golf players in Romania under the RGA “umbrella” and to bring golf to a higher level.

Catalina is one of the most experienced real estate consultants in Romania. With over 20 years of expertise in both commercial and residential areas, Catalina has led the Office and Residential teams of agencies such as Eurisko and CBRE.

Dragos is an experienced manager with more than 20 years of experience at the top level, having been involved in industries as mining, telecom, energy and IT. Since 2008 he has been in charge of developing the largest undeveloped gold deposit in the world at Rosia Montana.

Previously, he worked for the largest business advisory at the time, Andersen and for the EU Funds unit of the Ministry of Finance.
Dragos has always been passionate about sports, but since 2011, golf has become by far his biggest passion. Aside from enjoying golf as a player, Dragos hopes golf will be another economic development opportunity for Romania as it can unify sport with nature, business with pleasure and elitism with scale.

In November 2015 Bogdan Jigman has accepted the opportunity to grow and reposition GTC Romania, a major real estate developer and investor. Previously, Bogdan has been expansion director with Mega Image for three years. He has been active on the real estate market since 2004 and held various management positions for companies as Bluehouse Capital, Bogaris and Oradea Shopping City.
He considers that one of the most fascinating things about golf is how it reflects the cycle of life: no matter what you shoot, the next you have to go back to the first tee and begin all over again and make yourself into something.

These volunteers do not
represent a management structure in the classical sense, but a team of people
who have undertaken the task of dedicating a portion of their free time to the RGA activity.

In the the extent to which any member wishes to contribute and get involved in the RGA activity, we always welcome new volunteers – either offering time, work or sponsorships.
