At Organization of the Jews in Bulgaria Shalom, I built and lead the HR function across six legal entities, supporting approximately 170 employees. I established a three-person HR team, created end-to-end HR processes and developed a job architecture and leveling framework.

At Kaufland Bulgaria, I led Compensation and Benefits for a workforce of approximately 6,500, including the salary structure update, job grading and bonus schemes. More recently, I’ve integrated generative AI into HR workflows to support workforce analysis, policy development and management decisions.
