Vessela Apostolova is the CЕО of Publicis Groupe Bulgaria. She holds a master’s degree in European Integration from Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”. Vesela joins Teach For Bulgaria with extensive experience in strategic management and communications and a deep personal connection to education.

“I believe that the vision of Teach For Bulgaria aligns with the needs of the modern world, and I share a profound conviction in the potential of every child,” says Vesela.

“Joining the Board of Directors of Teach For Bulgaria is a conscious choice, driven by personal history, professional experience, and a deep dedication to the mission of ensuring quality education for the children of Bulgaria. Born on the symbolic date of November 25 – the day of St. Kliment Ohridski – and coming from a family of educators, with my grandmother, grandfather, and mother all being teachers, I have inherited their commitment to enlightenment and the development of young people’s potential. For me, education is not just a value but a personal responsibility. Over the years, I have been convinced that quality education is the foundation of a sustainable society – both through my personal experience as an employer and through my active involvement in student and youth organizations.”
