Exploring the intersection of technology, strategy, and creativity.
I help businesses navigate complex digital landscapes, from global M&A deals to strategic transformations.
About Me
Hey.
I'm a technology strategist who finds clarity in complexity. My path started at the edge of deep tech and creativity with a business twist with a degree in computer graphics and animation along with a minor in business administration. After a handful of curiosity-driven career moves, it evolved into the high-stakes world of M&A technology advisory.
It has been interesting, non-linear path - advanced hands-on tech support and team growth at HP/Ericsson, work on a Google Maps project, European IT programme management at Henry Schein, and assessing over 60 companies at BearingPoint Capital and professional leadership at Oxford - that has given me a comprehensive 360-degree perspective. I’m just as comfortable discussing detailed IT infrastructure optimization with a CTO as I am brainstorming creative growth strategies and company leadership with a startup founder.
Fluent in English, German, and Bulgarian, I am comfortable and competent in cross-cultural environments, helping organizations unlock the true potential of their technology investments.
