Smart Negotiation, even in the toughest situations
You want to negotiate successfully and win the negotiations that truly matter.
There are negotiations where a great deal is at stake.
Some determine millions.
Some shape your future.
Some affect relationships that matter deeply to you.
What if you had a partner at your side who knows exactly what matters, at every stage of the negotiation?
Someone who guides you and, if you wish, steps in and takes action.
I am
Dr. Raluca Ionescu
your partner for smart negotiation and leadership with natural authority in Vienna.
A lawyer and business psychologist who recognized early on that negotiations aren’t won in court, but long before that.
With extensive experience as a negotiation expert in international finance, as a management consultant, and as a systemic coach, I help you win decisive negotiations without losing yourself in the process.
What you receive from me
360° situational analysis - before a single word is spoken
Who is really at the table? What interests, fears, and pressure points are driving the parties involved? Which hidden agendas, alliances, and red lines are at play? You gain a crystal-clear, comprehensive picture, long before the first official conversation begins.
Strategic, mental, and operational preparation
You enter the negotiation with a tailored strategy, robust scenarios, and exactly the inner stance you need.
Live support at the table
I sit beside you or, if you wish, take over entirely. In real time, I steer tone, timing, and tactics: calm, precise, and effective.
Team alignment for multi-party negotiations
Clear roles. Coordinated signals. Steady nerves. Your team shows up as one unified player.
Watertight closing & implementation security
Every agreement is formulated and secured so there’s no room for maneuvering, reinterpretation, or later renegotiation.
Extra: I negotiate on your behalf
Discreet. Neutral. Highly effective. I handle exploratory talks, conflict resolution, or particularly sensitive phases, so you step in only when everything truly fits. An external professional often saves millions, and a great deal of nervous energy.

The result
You leave the negotiation table with exactly the outcome you were aiming for, or with the calm certainty that a clear, confident “no” was the right decision. And above all, with a feeling my clients describe again and again: “I had clarity and control over the entire negotiation process – from the very first second to the final signature.” Your next important negotiation is already waiting. Let’s make sure it goes your way.
Smart negotiation – in Vienna and beyond
For me, a truly good negotiation isn’t a battle. It’s a consciously guided,
dynamic dance, where you achieve your goals, and your counterpart embraces the outcome.
We get there by:
sharpening the strategy from the very start, keeping your goal firmly in focus,
crafting your argumentation so they land with precise persuasion,
peparing you mentally and strategically to perform with clarity and confidence.
Because negotiations that are mastered in preparation are won at the table.
Ready for negotiations that feel like winning from the very start?
Then let’s talk. In Vienna or online, you decide. The key is to start early enough.
