Eva Abadzhieva, PHRi, MBA

I am happy to provide this endorsement to Dobo whom I have worked closely being both members of the LT team of Baringa Bulgaria. Dobo is very intelligent, pro-active and consistent in his approach. He connects very easily, provides successful guidance and has the natural ability to empower people and has thus been a favourite advisor to many advisees in the business and an example to all peers in that matter. Dobo is a natural leader, who naturally engages followers and fans, which is the best assessment one leader can have. In many of our mutual projects Dobo has provided valuable insight and consulting know-how that has impacted the overall result we had tried to achieve. This only shows that Dobo is a talented consultant with a great progression to future heights in that area. It has always been a pleasure to work with Dobo, as he has always provided support, guidance and positivity when required.
