Eleonora has worn various hats throughout her tenure and contributed significantly to MentorMate’s international growth story.
Eleonora played a pivotal role in shaping the largest native mobile development team in Bulgaria, specializing in Android. Her leadership skills emerged as she began overseeing projects from an engineering perspective and guiding fellow team members as a people manager.

Her leadership philosophy centers around three essential principles: respect, trust, and results. Eleonora places immense importance on achieving results, recognizing that the company’s mission is to deliver exceptional outcomes. However, she understands that results alone are insufficient without fostering trust and respect with clients and colleagues. To achieve this, she champions strong collaboration, effective communication, and a sense of ownership among her team members.
Outside of her professional endeavors, Eleonora Georgieva enjoys the richness of life. Her hobbies include exploring new destinations, immersing herself in diverse cultures, mountain adventures, and relaxing on sandy shores.
