Citi: Prioritizing Diversity & Inclusion | Ani Filipova

Ani Filipova, a seasoned international banking executive with over two decades of experience, has embarked on a remarkable journey of transformation, redefining the concept of a successful career. Ani speaks with both experience and passion, as after growing up in country, her own professional career was developed due to one main driving goal; the wish to travel. From this, Ani discovered a career in banking spanning continents, and has developed herself as a true banking professional, thought leader, and speaker.

Ani's expertise spans across the setup and management of three banks, including Citibank Bulgaria, where she played pivotal roles in their success. Her career traversed continents, from London to Singapore and Hong Kong, where she excelled as the Regional Chief Operating Officer for Citibank Treasury and Trade Solutions in Asia. During this tenure, Ani's leadership was instrumental in clinching prestigious industry awards, such as Euromoney's Best Bank for transaction services and multiple categories in the Global Finance Best Digital Bank awards.

In April 2021, Ani made a bold decision to reshape her life and career. Relocating from Hong Kong to Athens, she embraced a "portfolio career," a multi-faceted approach that reflects her diverse talents and passions. Her portfolio includes roles as a board member, change advisor, investor, career coach, lecturer, podcaster, and inspirational speaker.
