As of December 1st, Yordan Slavov will take up the position of Director New Businesses - at Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria. He inherits the role from Ivo Dimitrov, who over the past two years has achieved record results in terms of premium alcohol brands, while also contributing to the successful growth of the coffee category.

I am grateful for the trust placed in us and our team", said Yordan Slavov, adding, "I believe that Bulgaria will continue to be a market that serves as a benchmark in terms of its market performance.
