Bio
Zlatina Mihaylova, PhD, PCC
Ivan is a talented young scientist, who wants to make a meaningful contribution to the cosmos, he could impact. He is passionate about climate change and climate adaptation, where he often shares a new idea new approach, new research. He plays with the data, and that allows him not only to talk, but to talk and advise with a solid background. Ivan has a sharp thought, great curiosity to check the deep patterns of the matter, big heart and small ego, which makes him a dream partner. I would definitely recommend Ivan for his professional qualities and personal competences.

I have known Ivan since we were kids. People change as they grow up but some characteristics remain. For Ivan, these are his inquisitiveness, his desire to learn and his strong analytical drive, as well as his keenness to help and his bold personable character. What has always impressed me about Ivan is his ability to delve into fields that are entirely unfamiliar to him and yet quickly manage to achieve an impressive level of understanding. I am convinced that Ivan possesses the flexibility and capacity to succeed in any field he were to take up. Thus, I would definitely recommend him to any employer.
