#34 Iva Georgijew, Deloitte: Being the first paves the way to others

Today I am interviewing Iva Georgijew, Chair of the Board of Directors of Deloitte CE, a region comprising 19 countries (including Ukraine).

Iva embodies diversity, as she was born to a Polish/Bulgarian family and experienced two different cultures growing up. She always sought to discover her life's purpose and the path she wanted to follow.  Her important choices, such as the one to go to a boarding school or to move to Poland to study, reflect her attitude that has made her one of the most successful individuals I have talked to.

She has adopted the principle of IKIGAI, which in Japanese means "a reason for living; a motivating force", to guide both her personal and professional growth. She believes that having a passion and pursuing it at work to the benefit of both ourselves and the greater good is essential for everyone to feel satisfied and accomplished.
