About

Before I started working in the commercial world, I have extensive experience as a professional athlete, where I had numerous international and national achievements, one of which was a bronze medal at the World   Handball Championships 1989.

I have worked as a consultant and market researcher for 20 years in Bulgaria and UK with many professional organisations including various for-profit and non-profit sports clubs and organisations.

I have been teaching since 2019 as an HPL at Kingston Universityacross different departments aligning modules such as Entrepreneurship in SMEs, International Business and Trade, International Business Operations and Project Management.

I am currently working on a PhD which investigates the connection between the elite football club and their academy.
