Empowering Growth Through Leadership, Technology & Coaching Excellence

With over 20 years of progressive leadership experience spanning finance, technology, and strategic management, I've dedicated my career to transforming organizations and empowering individuals to reach their full potential. As a certified Erickson Life and Business Coach combined with my Executive MBA and extensive C-level experience, I bring a unique holistic approach that bridges technical excellence with human-centered leadership.

My Mission: To leverage cutting-edge technology, financial acumen, and transformational coaching to help businesses and leaders unlock sustainable growth and create meaningful impact. Whether it's implementing AI-driven solutions, optimizing financial operations, or coaching executives through complex transitions, I deliver results that matter.

Currently serving as CFO at MVFinance, I lead comprehensive finance, analytics, IT, and software development initiatives. My journey includes founding a successful consultancy practice, expanding financial institutions into international markets, and even teaching with Teach for Bulgaria—reflecting my deep commitment to education and social impact.

What sets me apart is my ability to seamlessly integrate multiple disciplines: I combine rigorous financial analysis with innovative technology solutions, strategic planning with empathetic coaching, and data-driven decision-making with human-centered leadership. I'm passionate about AI applications in business, having completed specialized training in AI for Business, and I actively apply these insights to drive digital transformation initiatives.

As an Erickson-certified coach, I help executives and teams navigate change, unlock their potential, and achieve breakthrough results. My coaching philosophy integrates my extensive business experience with evidence-based coaching methodologies to create lasting transformation.
