Gabriela Apostolova is a partner in a Bulgarian software company with over 15 years of experience in IT technologies. She holds a Master’s degree in Economics in Finance and International Economic Relations. He has been a member of the Association since 2012.

“In the world of software technologies that I know well thanks to my 15 years’ experience in, you can rarely meet female entrepreneurs. Years ago, I thought about the topic, what are the causes of this imbalance and why it happens. I wished to find ways to change this situation, and so fate met me with the Selena Association. Here I found like-minded people for my cause, entrepreneurs with a fighting spirit and friends that you can always count on. I immediately felt that “Selena” was what I had always been looking for – a place where I can meet women with similar interests, ready to interact and help each other, as well as to support those who make first steps in business. I’m happy to be part of this unfroasted female energy that can turn, change and prosper.”
