Cătălin Viorel Nan, President of the National Federation of Romanian Parents – Edupart and Vice-President of the European Parents’ Association – EDUCATION • PUBLIC REPRESENTATION • INSTITUTIONAL LEADERSHIP • ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Since April 2024 I have been President of the National Federation of Romanian Parents – Edupart (FNPE), with 44 branches in 38 counties and all 6 sectors of Bucharest, and since April 2026 I have been Vice-President of the European Parents’ Association (EPA).
I have been an entrepreneur in education since 2007: I started Tiny Steps in Chicago and then brought it to Romania, alongside ARA, our family business in Râșnov. Before leading the Federation, I was active in politics and public administration, starting in 1996. In April 2024, the day after being elected President of the Federation, I resigned from the National Liberal Party (PNL) to keep parent representation separate from any political affiliation. See my full journey.
