The Beginning
In the busy heart of London, amid the mosaic of innovation and tradition, I found myself inspired by a unique vision. With my robust background in business, a passion for education, and an inherent drive to bridge gaps, I realised the need for an outstanding educational institution that went beyond borders.
The establishment of "The Excellence Academy"
My journey wasn't just about building a training centre; it was about creating a legacy of knowledge, an oasis for those who sought excellence in business education. Recognising the dynamism of the UK's business landscape, I incorporated that energy and standard into The Excellence Academy. But I didn't stop there. Drawn by my roots and recognising the unused potential, I expanded my vision to Bulgaria, blending British expertise with Bulgarian determination.
Our venture isn't only about filling a market gap—it's about shaping successful stories.
I understand that effective communication is fundamental to all successful relationships. Thus, in the business realm, each measure taken to enhance the communication capabilities and efficiency of a team constitutes a key ingredient in the recipe for success.

Liliya Valcheva
Co-Founder and COO
I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience, and I find great fulfilment in assisting others with their career journeys. Thus, my involvement in The Excellence Academy represents a seamless progression in my professional growth.
With over 18 years in telecommunications, sales, and B2B services, I've acquired considerable expertise in client communication, delivering corporate trainings, and engaging in team-building activities. My philosophy as a professional is anchored in the belief that continuous learning and skill enhancement are crucial, recognising that professional growth is an ongoing journey without a final destination.
At The Excellence Academy, our philosophy is that a business thrives when it acknowledges and invests in its team's value. We specialise in delivering impactful trainings, grounded in our extensive knowledge, real-world experience, and honed skills.
It would be our pleasure to play a role in fostering positive transformation within your organisation.
In the world of marketing, I don't just see opportunities – I make them happen. Mixing my love for marketing, I'm creating a stage for excellence and success stories at The Excellence Academy. I truly believe that marketing isn't just a tool; it's the key to exciting possibilities and future success.

Ivon Borisova
Digital Marketing Executive
My journey began in search of what brings me joy. I chased my dreams for years until I finally discovered what excites and inspires me – marketing. I'm Ivon, whose story is fuelled by the relentless pursuit of passion and satisfaction in what I do.
Through years of exploration, I realised that marketing is a mix of creativity, strategy, and impact – and that's what truly excites me. Marketing has given me the opportunity not just to communicate with the audience but to create stories that inspire and change perspectives.
This is my passion – to formulate and present ideas that influence and build connections between people and products. Marketing, for me, is not just a profession; it's a way to combine my internal passion with strategy and innovation. It challenges me to transform ideas into reality and to see possibilities where others might not."
I believe in constant optimization - starting from self-improvement and going on to business issues. Achieving things in a faster and more efficient way - in every perspective - is what gives me real pleasure and satisfaction. I like details, nuances, and classifications: this might be due partly to my professional deformation.

Kalin Nikolov
Lecturer
We all live in an interconnected world and keep diving in an ocean of information. This is putting a tremendous burden on our professional and private lives as time is a unique truly limited resource for everyone. How we manage time and information reflects upon our human paths.
I have versatile 20+ years of experience related to project and finance management roles with large and mid-size multinational companies across different industries. Since July 2013 I have been developing my own management consulting practice focused on data structuring, financial reporting and business process optimization. The way data is collected, interpreted, managed, utilized, modified and disseminated is central for every business. Financial knowledge coupled with some insights about technology, algorithms and logical structures certainly helps. This is the reason why I feel happy to share those kinds of business and life tricks with you on the stage of The Excellence Academy.
