Serban Mare

Serban Mare

What happens when your most committed people quietly burn out behind a mask of performance? Serban Mare has lived the answer, and now helps organizations catch it early and reverse it.
Serban is an Engineering Program Manager with 20+ years in the semiconductor and technology industry, still leading complex, high-pressure programs today while keynoting national conferences including PMI Global Summit and SHRM events. He burned out the quiet way: achieving everything on paper while running on empty. Then he rebuilt his energy, focus, and performance without leaving the pressure behind. That makes him a working proof of concept, not a recovered cautionary tale.
His sessions are direct, interactive, and science-backed, built for people who think in systems. Audiences leave with the three warning signs of burnout, a practical counter for each one, and tools they put to work the same week.
