Meet Daniela Popnikolova, Branch Manager, UniCredit Bulbank, Varna
I'm Daniela, and I’ve been with UniCredit for over 16 years. I started as a trainee, and today I lead our branch in Varna as Branch Manager. My role involves overseeing daily banking operations, ensuring compliance with all necessary regulations and processes, boosting customer satisfaction, and—most importantly—motivating my team to deliver their best every day.
What drives me is helping people grow. Supporting my team through challenges, celebrating their successes, and seeing their development over time is truly rewarding. I also enjoy building long-term relationships with clients and contributing to their financial wellbeing, so they can achieve both professional and personal goals.
Banking has been my passion since high school. Its dynamic environment, demand for strategic thinking, and scope for continuous learning make it a perfect fit for me. Every role I’ve held has shaped my journey and prepared me for the next challenge.
Adaptability is my greatest strength. The industry evolves rapidly, and embracing change – whether it’s new technologies or shifting customer needs – has helped me lead effectively and earn trust.
A recent highlight was my participation in UniCredit’s financial education initiative with Teach For All. Guiding students through key financial concepts was enriching for them and an important growth opportunity for me, both personally and professionally.
What I appreciate most about UniCredit is the collaborative, inclusive culture. Ideas are welcomed, feedback is valued, and personal development is a priority. The flexible environment also allows me to balance a fulfilling career with quality time for myself and my loved ones.
Outside of work, I love exploring new places, baking, and collecting shoes. As my friends say, I’m a bit like “papaya with sugar” – full of energy and charm.
Three words to describe my personality:
determined, vibrant, sweet.
Three words to describe my job:
strategic, dynamic, impactful.
Meet Vasyl Suchevan, Branch Manager, UniCredit Italy, Merano
My name is Vasyl Suchevan. I’m 29 years old, married, and a proud father of two. I joined UniCredit four years ago, right after completing my master’s degree. I started as a seasonal consultant, progressed through roles in personal consultancy and business client management, and earlier this year, I was promoted to Branch Manager in Merano.
My job is all about coordination, which is also one of my greatest strengths. I enjoy keeping things in order – structure helps me stay focused and deliver results. I take time with my team to analyse problems and find the best solutions to ensure our clients receive excellent service. At the same time, I love the dynamic nature of our work and the constant learning it brings – skills I gain here often help me in everyday life too.
I speak six languages and have a multicultural background, which allows me to connect easily with clients and colleagues from different countries and cultures. This is one of the many benefits of working at UniCredit: a diverse, stimulating, and fast-paced work environment that suits my curious nature. Every day brings new scenarios, and I thrive on finding creative ways to navigate them.
My typical day is quite busy, with an early start at 6:30, preparing the family for the day, and then an exciting day at the office.
I love being a parent, and I strive to dedicate most of my time to my family. I also enjoy cooking, climbing, and reading.
Three words to describe my personality:
curious, optimistic, ambitious.
