- How did everything start and how long have you been working for the company?
I first worked in the sales and marketing field, starting from the Level one – Helpdesk. But that helped me a lot in understanding the needs of clients and partners. I continued in the IT industry and improved my leading skills by managing teams of Technical support specialists and Account Managers. Here I am, following the professional path, currently as Project Manager at BGO Software. I have been working in the company for half a year now, but I used to work with Ivaylo Ivanov (CTO), Ivan Lekushev (CEO) and others who are currently part of this team in a previous company (this is how it started I guess).
- What are the biggest challenges in what you do?
Keeping everybody (Clients, Directors, Team) happy.
- What are the most fundamental skills you should have for your current position?
Team leadership, being organized and of course – sense of humor.
