Financial and audit professional with a strong background in both internal and external audit. Currently serving as a Deputy Head of Internal Audit at Allianz Bulgaria Holding, I bring a wealth of experience in identifying operational inefficiencies and opportunities for process improvements, mitigating risks, ensuring compliance with regulatory and internal standards and advising the management. My experience in a Big 4 Company (PwC) and being involved in auditing a diverse portfolio of clients across various industries while performing financial audits, has equipped me with a deep understanding of different business models and the ability to adapt quickly to new environments. I have also participated in numerous programs, projects and initiatives (Bulgaria Wants You, One. Movement, Reverse and Standard Mentorship, Move Camp, Mercato etc.) which have further broadened my skill set and knowledge base while collaborating with cross-functional teams and driving continuous improvement and added value. My key strengths include strategic planning, risk management, analytical thinking, communication and team leadership. I am always eager to learn, develop and leverage my skills and experience to drive efficiency and effectiveness.
