Career success stories:

 Tonislav Toshev, Senior Manager, Collections, joined 2017

"Six years ago, I embarked on my journey with Paysafe as a DW Collections Supervisor in the recently established Collections department. After two years, I was promoted to Collections Manager. In 2021, a decision was made to expand the Collections team to cover all Group divisions, effectively making it a global function. As a result, I was again promoted, this time to Senior Manager Collections, leading the newly-formed global team. Since joining in 2017, the Collections team has grown threefold in size and has become an integral part of the Paysafe Defend organization. Just three months ago, my organization expanded once again with the addition of the Issuing Prepaid Risk team. My time with Paysafe has undoubtedly been the most challenging period of my career to date, but it has also been highly fulfilling and rewarding. I have had the privilege of working alongside remarkable individuals and have continuously pushed myself beyond my limits."

 Katya Georgieva, Senior Compliance Officer, Policy & Training, joined 2017

"I joined Paysafe in 2017 as a Customer Service Representative with English and in 2019 I was promoted to a Senior agent. A few months later, I went on maternity leave but a year and a half after I came back, I became a Senior Compliance Officer, Policy & Ethics (now Policy & Training) and I couldn’t be happier. Not only do I get to learn so much every day, but the job is so dynamic that every week is completely different so there is always something new happening. Last but not least, it wouldn’t be the same without my terrific manager and all the amazing people I get to work with."

 Tsvetin Karakushev, Senior Risk Systems Analyst, joined 2018

"I started my journey at Paysafe in December 2018 as a Fraud Detection Specialist. That was the place that ignited my spark which later turned into what is now a firestorm for Risk, Fraud and how to mitigate it. There I was for a bit over 2 years, where later I was promoted to a more senior position. That is when I felt I want more, to have further reach on controlling and mitigating risk, which led to me applying and joining our Risk Systems team. I am happy to say that through my journey I had the opportunity to meet and work with some amazing people that helped me grow as an expert and a person. If I can give one advice, it would be, you and your manager are on the same team. Ignite your spark!"
