Speaker

From a tiny Bulgarian town and childhood weekends and summers spent working in the tobacco fields, I never imagined I would be here speaking with you. How come?

Reflecting on my journey, I see 'purpose' as my guiding light, driving unexpected growth and opportunities. But this journey was far from easy, requiring 'crazy' choices—leaving friends and family, rejecting comfort, and diving into the unknown of new cultures and ventures.

With over two decades of transformative growth spanning academia and the high-tech industry as an Artificial Intelligence researcher, and venturing into educational entrepreneurship, my quest for authentic living in harmony with others drives my purposeful career and self-sustenance. 

Along the way, I discovered the power of networking to create genuine friendships and partnerships with diverse people across the globe, aligned with my values and goals, and opening unimaginable opportunities for growth and success.

Tap briefly in my path with unusual choices.
