From a Spark to a Flame

Free the Digital was born from Ioana Stepanov’s dedication to making high-quality business support reachable to every passionate service provider, regardless of their size or budget.
“In 2019, I left my corporate career because I craved freedom, purpose, and the chance to live a life worth talking about. This personal journey led me to reimagine what business support could look like—more human, more accessible.”
With over 15 years of experience in business development and a passion for creating meaningful relationships, Ioana has transitioned from a Virtual Assistant to becoming the Founder of Free the Digital. Her mission? Redefining business management support while focusing on the people behind the business.
“Beyond earning a living, my goal has always been to connect and partner up with insightful and compassionate individuals in the creative industry, helping them realize their dreams wherever they might be in the world. Each success story we’re part of fuels my commitment to this mission.”
Starting as a one-woman operation, Free the Digital has grown into a powerhouse team committed to forming meaningful partnerships that turn ambitious visions into thriving realities.
“The freedom and purpose that inspired me to create Free the Digital are reflected in the life I lead. Originally from Bucharest, I’ve made Prague my home. I travel extensively with my partner, embracing the ability to work from stunning locations and savoring every moment, whether it’s relaxing with a book on a sunny beach or dancing away at a festival.”
