About Us
Look, we get it. Insurance talk makes most people's eyes glaze over. But here's the thing — one bad medical event, a lawsuit, or unexpected loss can wipe out everything you've built. That's where we come in. We're not here to sell you products you don't need or bury you in jargon. Instead, we sit down with you (actually sit down, not some Zoom call) and figure out what you're really trying to protect. Your family. Your business. Your peace of mind. That's what Protected Safe Harbor does.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.
Our Story
Protected Safe Harbor started back in 2011 when our founder got frustrated watching friends make terrible insurance decisions. They'd either skip coverage entirely or buy way too much of the wrong stuff. So we decided to fix that. For the past 13 years, we've built something different — a place where people come first, numbers second. We've helped 47 families and small business owners navigate this mess. And we're just getting started. Brașov's been our home since day one, and we've stayed rooted here on purpose.
Meet Our Team
The people behind Protected Safe Harbor
Cristian Popescu
Founder & Lead Advisor
Cristian spent 8 years at a big insurance firm before realizing they had it backwards. He left to start Protected Safe Harbor because he actually wanted to help people instead of hitting quotas. Still obsessed with finding the right fit for every client.
Elena Munteanu
Business Planning Specialist
Elena's helped 34 small business owners protect their companies without breaking the bank. She's got a sharp eye for gaps in coverage and an even sharper ability to explain why they matter. Former accountant, current problem-solver.
Bogdan Tiberiu
Client Relationships Manager
Bogdan's your person when life gets complicated. He handles the messy follow-ups, the claims support, and everything in between. Fair warning: he'll probably text you on a Saturday to remind you about a policy renewal because he actually cares.
We’re a team that values ownership, clarity, and growth. We celebrate wins, learn fast, and keep client outcomes at the center.

Honesty First
We tell you what you actually need. Sometimes that's less than you thought. Sometimes it's more. Either way, we're not chasing commissions — we're chasing your long-term security.
Real People, Real Talk
No corporate-speak. No jargon unless we explain it three different ways. We talk like neighbors because that's what we're.
Your Stuff Matters
Whether it's your business, your family, or your future plans, we treat it like it's ours too. Because we're invested in your win.
Keep It Simple
Complicated plans fail. We strip away the noise and build something you actually understand and can manage.
