Krasimir KOLEV, Senior Transition and Transformation Manager
Started at TELUS International in 2005 as a Customer Support Agent.
Promoted 5 times (Agent – Assistant Supervisor - Account Manager
– Transition Manager - Senior Transition and Transformation Manager).
TELUS International was a great opportunity for me, not only because I was able
to work on a very interesting German project, but because I was also able to attend
classes during the day and then go to work in the evenings and on Saturdays.
I really like the fact that our job is extremely dynamic. It’s a great opportunity to work
with different companies which have individual business profiles and situations – you
could work with a Travel and Leisure company from Belgium, a Telecom firm from
Germany or a Payment Service Provider from the UK.
The CSR initiatives like TELUS Days of Giving make TELUS International a different
company. If you get to know the people and the company’s values, you will know
that this is the place for you!
