Iva Ekimova

I will be your mentor of „Public Communications Excellence” in the Magnificent FIve!

 I am Iva Ekimova! I was 17 when I appeared for the second time on TV. At that time I was part of the on-screen as well as the publicists crew of “Supershow Nevada” TV program. My career flourished in public and personal communications, after graduating from The University of National and World Economy in Sofia and London School of PR. I was an associate professor of PR at the New Bulgarian University in Sofia for 7 full academic years.
 

 

In the course of those more than 20 years, I had the privilege to work on the creation, integration efforts and the final implementation of remarkable communication strategies for leading companies in their respective files, among which “Petrol” and “Petrol Holding”, “Philip Morris Bulgaria”, “First Investment Bank” and many other. In 2009 it was a great honour for me to be a part of the group, which visited His Royal Highness, Prince Charles in Wales

VELIMIRA VASSILEVA

I will be your mentor of “Executive Coaching Excellence” in the Magnificent Five !

I am Velimira Vassielva. Since I was kid I fell in love with theatre and cinema. I developed my creative skills and creative thinking in directing and script writing in the Raikovi Brothers School in Varna. Professor Zhelcho Mandadjiev  - the first follower of the great Stanislavski in Bulgaria was my teacher as well and is “to blame” for inspiring the director in me.
 

Being a part of the Xerox (1991) and Alcatel (1994) teams, I managed to prove to myself that the trade of a sales person is the closest kin to that of a theatre or movie director.  My career path logically lead me to starting at ProSoft, where I developed the telecom brand „Matra“ („Astra“). Not long after, due to my sales skills, I was invited by the RENAULT Representative Office in Bulgaria – ProMobile, to develop from scratch the DACIA brand. From 2007 until 2010 I was head of the administrative department at the leading Bulgarian mobile operator “Mobiltel”, and in the meantime I graduated in BA at The Open University in Milton Keynes, The United Kingdom.
 

To be able to reach yet another level up in my trade as a sales person, I turned to the Cognitive Psychology and currently I am a practitioner at Noble Manhattan Institute.

millen stamatov

I will be your mentor in „Personal Marketing Excellence” in the Magnificent Five!

I am Millen Stamatov! My first “serious as fun” job I started in 1995 at 22 as a host and co-creator of the first in Bulgaria (and possibly in the world?) scripted infotainment TV computer and technology show “Computer Dreams” at NOVA TV. I graduated “St. Kliment Ohridski” University of Sofia in Bulgarian Language Studies and since then successfully finished a plethora of training courses.

 

After NOVA TV, I was part of the team behind the launch of the first in Bulgaria media magazine “Media & Advertising”, which was launched by the same publisher of fashion print legend “Eva” magazine and “The Three Stoogies” weekly comic paper of one of the most notable Bulgarian cartoonists with worldwide recognition – Donio Donev. I ended up in TV again as one of the two co-creators, lead script write and voice-over of the one and only computer TV show on Bulgarian National Television “Mrezhata” (“The Net”).

​

The next 10 years were a pivotal period in my career development – at the biggest at the time mobile operator in Bulgaria – “Mobiltel”, where in my position of a Data Services Division Director I was “guilty” as charged for many “firsts” in Bulgaria: the first mobile steaming of TV broadcast (from the house of “Big Brother” in 2003); the first ever in Bulgaria mobile TV launch of the big four: CNN, Cartoon Network, Eurosport and MTV,
as well as for the start of the first ever in Bulgaria digital services for mobile phones – Vodafone Live! There is more – coming soon!
