Kameliya Mineva has been appointed as the new Chairperson of the Management Board of ProCredit Bank, effective from July 1, 2025. Ms. Mineva takes on the leadership role with a clear vision for the development of innovative and sustainable banking products and services.

With over 15 years of experience in the financial sector, Kameliya Mineva has demonstrated strategic leadership as a member of the Management Board of ProCredit Bank. Her professional journey at the Bank began in 2010, and over the years she has held roles such as credit expert, branch manager, and credit risk specialist in Germany.

In this strategic role, she has been responsible for individual and SME client business, marketing, and the development of the Bank’s green policy.

Kameliya Mineva holds a degree in Economics from the London School of Economics and an Executive MBA from the University of Sheffield. In 2017, she also completed the ProCredit Academy in Fürth, Germany.

She succeeds Mr. Petar Slavov, who has been instrumental in the establishment of the Bank and has been part of its management for over two decades.

“It is an honor and a challenge for me to take over from Mr. Slavov, under whose leadership the institution established itself in the Bulgarian market and stood out as a stable and reliable partner in modern banking. I am proud to be part of the leadership team of an institution with strong international presence and deeply rooted values. Together with my colleagues, we will continue to build on the trust our clients and partners have in us and further develop a client-centric approach in our decision-making,” said Kameliya Mineva.

“Ms. Mineva is assuming the top position at a time of dynamic change in the sector, when strategic leadership is crucial for adapting to evolving economic conditions and customer expectations. Kameliya brings a combination of expertise, vision, and personal commitment, which together with the consistent work of the entire Management Board delivers visible results. I am confident that under her leadership, the Bank will continue to be a driving force in digitalization and positive transformation, both within the sector and in the broader economic environment,” commented Mr. Slavov.

Petar Slavov has been one of the key figures in the founding of ProCredit Bank (Bulgaria) EAD in 2001 and has been actively involved in its management ever since, serving as Executive Director and member of the Management Board. In 2008, he became Chairperson of the Management Board, and in 2014, he was appointed Chairperson of the Supervisory Board. From 2014 to 2021, he was also a member of the Supervisory Board of ProCredit Holding AG.

As of July 2025, Mr. Slavov will step down from the leadership of the Management Board and will focus on financial projects and initiatives outside the Bank.
