About

Professional summary

I am a Project Manager with more than five years of experience delivering complex international projects across fintech, payments, market research, client services, and operations.

I currently manage partner onboarding and implementation initiatives for Acquiring and Card Issuing projects. I coordinate scope, requirements, timelines, dependencies, risks, testing, go-live activities, and communication across internal teams and external partners.

I have progressed to a Senior Project Manager role and have managed 10–15 concurrent high-complexity projects for international premium clients across multiple markets. I am comfortable managing client expectations, commercial considerations, external vendors, and delivery escalations involving senior stakeholders.

My strengths include project planning, stakeholder management, risk and issue resolution, process improvement, operational workflow design, training, and onboarding. I work independently, take ownership of delivery challenges, and help teams resolve issues before they escalate.

I use Agile and Scrum practices to improve ways of working and support cross-functional collaboration. I also develop AI-driven automation solutions for reporting, scope-of-work creation, document transformation, and project and risk reviews to reduce manual effort.

I am currently based in Sofia, Bulgaria, and communicate professionally in Bulgarian and English, with beginner-level French.
