In 1997, Teo founded Electrogrup, initially offering design consulting to the newly set up mobile telecom operators in Romania. At the time, the multinational mobile companies needed young local professionals with a good understanding of the telecom and energy infrastructure sector in Romania to help them design and set up their infrastructure.

This consistent strategy has allowed his companies to become more efficient than competitors and avoid commoditized solutions. One of the early synergetic strategies was the intersection of telecom and power infrastructure, which have many similarities: similar professional qualifications for employees, similar equipment, similar site poles etc. Over time, Electrogrup built over 10,000 Km of fiber optic routes, 1,500 telecom sites, 150 substations, micro-hydro power stations, solar parks as well as wind park maintenance capabilities
