Miroslava Stamboliyska
Santa Monica, CA
Miroslava Stamboliyska started her career in management consulting and
finance in the private sector. Over the years, her daily work of advising
firms on how to perform better coupled with her passion for improving
the lives of orphans in less developed nations, led her to become increasingly
interested in international development and in particular the efficacy,
sustainability, and efficiency of international aid. In 2005, she joined
International Medical Corps (a global humanitarian agency delivering relief
and development programs worldwide) as an Operations Officer. Her efforts
are currently focused on improving the operational efficiency and administrative
structure of the
organization at the headquarters level, which she then hopes will allow
for more efficient and effective management of the programs at the field
level.
Miroslava holds a BA in Economics and a BA in French from Grinnell College,
and an MBA from Stanford University (with a Certificate in Non-Profit
Management).
