Flamingo Tours GmbH

Based on my achieving results in my previous job, I was offered the position of the CEO of a Tour Operator based in Germany by the board of directors of Albena JSCo. The company exclusively targeted on selling holidays in Bulgaria on the German clients market.
During my tenure, I have successfully reformed the company's structure and led it to profitable financial results. When I came to post, the company struggled with significant financial losses. In 1 year, I managed to change how the company operates and put it back on winning.
I have pioneered the German market sports holidays such as tennis, soccer and beach volleyball in Bulgarian resorts. 
Moreover, my efforts led to a launch of a prosperous project for selling health tourism packages on the German market.
