Global Technology Leader

Today, on this July Morning, I’m marking a personal sunrise of my own. After almost 17 years at MentorMate, the time has come to move on. It’s hard to put nearly two decades into a post — because this wasn’t just a job, it was a journey who defined me as a professional and as a person. A place where I grew, failed, succeeded, learned, and built friendships that will last a lifetime. Much like the spirit of July Morning, this moment is about new beginnings. About waking up to a fresh horizon, full of unknowns, possibilities, and the bittersweet excitement of closing one chapter to start another. To everyone at MentorMate — past and present — thank you! For the lessons, the challenges, the battles fought side by side, and the memories we made together. We built something truly special that impacted the lives of thousands of colleagues, clients and their customers. I don't know exactly where my next sunrise will lead, but I'm beyond grateful for the journey so far and excited for what’s to come. Happy July Morning! To new chapters, to new horizons.

A remarkable journey for me too for 6+ years. I keep referring to the time at Mentormate with pride, joy and "we". Being surrounded by smart, dedicated individuals that respectfully challenge each other is a blessing. Thank you for balancing the tribe, taking responsibility when waters were rough and often being the voice of wisdom for all of us. Wishing a fulfilling new chapter ahead!

Congratulations Stefan! We picked the right person to lead MM BG. You surpassed all of our expectations, and you know, the bar was set pretty high. It was an honor and privilege to work alongside you as you led our Bulgarian leadership team. A true testament to running with the Mustangs! Enjoy some time off with your BM and family. God bless your next sunrise wherever that may rise... ;<)

Винаги си бил вдъхновение! Успех с каквото следва!

I have only had to opportunity to talk to you in person a couple of times. And this is a regret I still have. However, the spirit of safety and home you created for all of us cannot be compared to any other workplace. You are by far a true example of a Leader. You care and at the same time not afraid to make difficult decisions, and still be the best of the best. Thank you for all the hard work and investing in us so much trust! You moving on is a loss that will remain as a huge mark. Godspeed! Cheers for your outstanding expertise and support! Cheers for the new horizons! I hope one day our paths cross again!
