Razvan Preduchin was born in Bucharest in 1987 and spent the early years of his childhood with his grandparents in Craiova, with frequent visits to Răst, a picturesque village located near the Danube. This period was marked by a harmonious blend of the simplicity of rural life and the dynamism of the city, in a family with modest roots but big ambitions. He started school in Bucharest and combined his studies with competitive swimming, while a significant part of his free time was spent with his father at the small workshop of their family business of games and toys, thus learning the importance of work and entrepreneurship.
After graduating high school in 2006, his desire to explore the world and discover new perspectives led him to study abroad, earning full scholarships in Italy and Ireland. There, he specialized in economics and business, while continuing to practice high-level sports and cultivating passions for nutrition, psychology, and innovation.
At the age of 20, a tragic event profoundly changed his life. His father’s sudden death due to a heart attack prompted him to apply preventative principles to his own routine and enroll in a nutrition and fitness course. During that time, he began developing meal and training plans for his family, aiming to protect his grandparents and mother from health issues. The obvious improvements in vitality and energy he observed and experienced reaffirmed the importance of a healthy lifestyle, motivating him to follow the principle of "mens sana in corpore sano," which he adhered to throughout his professional career.
In 2014, after several years of experience in the telecommunications sector, Razvan chose to transition from corporate life to a startup environment and moved to Africa to contribute to the development of the current leading online commerce platform on the continent. Over the next six and a half years, he had the opportunity to live in countries like Nigeria, Kenya, and Singapore, and to travel across nations with various degrees of economic development, gaining valuable experience and expanding his international network.
During his travels, Razvan observed how elite athletes and leaders from around the world benefitted from access to and regularly used cutting-edge technologies to enhance health and performance. This discovery strengthened his conviction that health is not just the absence of disease but a continuous process of optimization for longevity. He realized that investing in one’s health not only brings personal benefits but also has a positive economic impact on organizations and society at large.
Razvan returned to Romania in March 2020, amidst the pandemic, which proved to be the perfect moment to reconnect with his home life. He later decided to apply all the knowledge and experiences accumulated to create a revolutionary project in the local market. Thus, EXPAND LABS was born, the first longevity hub in Romania—an innovative concept combining traditional medicine with cutting-edge therapies and advanced technologies. The project aims to offer complete personalized health and performance solutions, transforming the notion of longevity into a tangible plan of practices and routines accessible to the local community under one roof.
Currently, Razvan Preduchin is the General Manager and Co-founder of EXPAND LABS, actively contributing to the development of a holistic vision of health and performance optimization for a long and healthy life.
