Ani Filipova's Linkedin Analytics

I have been an international banking executive for over 20 years. My roles spanned product, relationship management, branch network, operations, risk, audit. I was involved in the original setup and ongoing management of three banks, including Citibank Bulgaria. I never planned to be a banker. My career was a by-product of a passion of mine - to travel. Rejected by all International companies in Bulgaria, my fallback scenario was to join a local bank... the rest is history - I fulfilled my dream - I visited over 80 countries in the world and in parallel created a successful banking career. I lived in Sofia, Bucharest, London, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Between 2015 and 2021, I was the Regional Chief Operating Officer for Citibank Treasury and Trade Solutions in Asia, a $2Bn business covering 16 countries, including India and China, focused on transformation, digitization, and culture change. Then, in April 2021, I quit my job and completely re-balanced my life around three key areas: myself, family, and a “portfolio career”. Now I run a “portfolio” of activities: I am a board member, change advisor, investor, career coach, lecturer, and speaker. In my free time, I am educating myself and connecting with people involved in efforts to combat climate change – this is the next activity I am planning to add to my “portfolio” There are 4 ways that we can work together. Connect via LinkedIn DM to get the conversation started: 1. Business Consulting & Advising - Planning and/or executing on change and transformation as a Non-Executive Board member, consultant, or advisor. 2. Career coaching - With a successful international career I know a lot about how to navigate through trials and help you get un-stuck and on to the job you love.
