There are moments in a leader’s career that mark not just success, but a clear confirmation of direction—and inspire those around them.

For Milena Tsankarska, Chief Commercial and Marketing Officer at ZettaOnline, 2025 is shaping up to be exactly that kind of year - a time when her efforts are already reflected in industry recognition, strategic partnerships, and sustainable business growth.

Recognition Among Bulgaria’s Top 100 Women in Business

This spring, Milena was named one of the “Top 100 Women in Business in Bulgaria” - a debut ranking by Career Show that highlights women with a strong impact on corporate culture and the development of resilient, future-ready business models. The selection was based on over 28,000 public votes across 300+ nominees - clear proof of Milena’s influence as both a business leader and a visionary.

“We congratulate Milena Tsankarska on being included in the ‘Top 100 Women in Business 2025’ index. Her outstanding professional achievements are a testament to her skills, leadership, and contributions to the Bulgarian business environment. Women who confidently claim their place in business leadership are driving the change toward a fair and inclusive professional landscape.” shared Simona Harizanova, Co-founder of Career Show.

A Voice of a National Campaign in the Social Media

Milena was also invited to join Career Show’s national campaign focused on the key skills required to build a successful career today. In the campaign video, she shared her personal philosophy in a direct and powerful message: “Better to say ‘I tried’ than wonder what could have happened.”

This seemingly simple piece of advice reflects a deeper leadership mindset - having the courage to take risks, the confidence to act decisively, and the willingness to learn by doing.

Her participation in the campaign served as an inspiring message to the next generation of professionals: success is built on consistency, integrity, and vision.

“It rarely works on the first try. What matters is to stay consistent” she added. That same consistency—expressed through her active participation in forums, events, and strategic initiatives—is behind the growing recognition of ZettaOnline over the past year.

Global Recognition for ZettaOnline

In March, Milena attended the GamingTECH CEE Awards in Prague, where ZettaOnline was honored with the award for Best Payment Service Provider CEE. This wasn’t just a trophy on the shelf—it reflected the results of a targeted strategy, strong international partnerships, and ZettaOnline’s growing position as a trusted provider of fintech and payment solutions.

“I’m proud these achievements are happening here and now—with a team that believes in our shared vision and works with true dedication. This is both a personal and professional milestone that shows we’re moving in the right direction.” said Milena Tsankarska.

Leader. Builder. Inspirer.

In a world where everyone talks about innovation and transformation, Milena Tsankarska stands out as a good example of leadership in action. With a steady approach and sharp focus, she continues to drive meaningful results—for both ZettaOnline and the broader business community in Bulgaria.

Looking Ahead

The first half of 2025 has already proven to be a milestone year for Milena and ZettaOnline. With solid recognition now in place, the next chapter involves expanding that momentum—through new initiatives and participation in key international fintech and gaming forums.

And when the direction is right, results are only a matter of consistency.
