Behind the Wheel: Gabriel Manole, the Delivery Director and Country Manager at Endego

This week we speak with Gabriel Manole, the Delivery Director and Country Manager at Endego. 

Gabriel’s career began in Romania at the dawn of the country’s automotive software boom. From his early days with Siemens VDO to key leadership roles at Continental, Freescale, and Atmel, he’s played a pivotal role in software development, management, and transformation. Thanks to his hard work at Endego, Gabriel is driving growth in the software-defined vehicle space.

In this podcast, we explore Gabriel’s international journey, from scaling engineering teams and shaping cybersecurity standards, to working on cutting-edge SDV architectures. He also reflects on the importance of staying close to technology as a leader, the globalisation of automotive R&D, and what Europe can learn from China’s rapid innovation cycles.

He also shares advice for the next generation of engineers - why STEM fundamentals, strong soft skills, and language fluency are key to thriving in a world where AI, integration, and connectivity redefine what it means to build a car.
