Bio:
Alina Vlaic, from Sibiu, Romania, is a Brand Owner, Agency Founder, and entrepreneur who started her Amazon journey as a seller on the EU marketplace and then made her way to North America, where the launch of the first 3PL brand was about to change her entire life.
As an Amazon seller herself, Alina knows the challenges (and the satisfaction) of what it’s like when things go according to plan. This did not happen but instead turned into the learning and evolving experience of her life. This is when AZ Rank was born. In 2022 and beyond, PressX, Fotolive, and Press Articles were launched.
She established herself at the forefront of Amazon's strategic thinking. Ran thousands of product launches over the last 5 years and helped thousands of sellers do better on Amazon, Walmart, and more. She loves traveling, and she’s a fighter. She is determined to do her best in every situation and for everyone.
She is the mother of 2 children (7 and 12), has been together with her husband for almost 20 years, and they have done pretty much everything together, business-wise. She has been working since she was a child. Her father was himself an entrepreneur who quit his job and opened a grocery store in 1991, right after Romania was out of communism. When he opened the store, they were selling three products: coffee, mineral water, and orange soda. The line was around the block. A few years later, her parents also opened a printing house where she worked during and after high school and during college.
