KOEN VAN DEN BOSSCHE
FOUNDER & OWNER OF ORKA GROUP
I am the founder, owner of Orka BE (founded in 2008), Orka BG (2018), our sales office in the US (2022) and recently launched Orka ES (2024).
I have defined Orka’s DNA to contain the work ethic, the positive attitude and the constant drive towards customer satisfaction.
Our website was built as a business card and represents the three core streams of our company, whereas the true value for us is the people we work with since they were selected as being capable of accepting our DNA and carrying it on. The texts on this page are my own, written as a kind of tribute to our consultants.
I consider myself to be the least important person in Orka. However, the origin of the name Orka comes from the times I was with the boy scouts, where my totem was Orka (or killer whale), brave orca.
KAREN BRACKE
HR & FACILITY MANAGEMENT
Karen is the co-founder of Orka and supports and motivates me and our colleagues to keep going for continuous improvement, in the area of human resources as in the field of facilities in order to guarantee the perfect working conditions for our consultants. The vision is quite simple: if we treat our consultants as princes or princesses, there is a big chance they will treat our customers as kings or queens.
Orka consultants shall only worry about their kings and queens, not about their conditions. Karen, in close collaboration with Denitsa, makes sure these are the best on the market.
The specific selection of our consultants plus the cocktail of conditions and benefits makes us meaningful, out-of-the-box, friendly, educated, polite and plain fun to work with.
DENITSA ZHELYAZKOVA
CHIEF OPERATIONAL OFFICER
Honestly, until today I’m impressed we could recruit Denitsa as COO for our Eastern and Southern European branches (ESE). Her being an operational manager at our former client, and a business developer at a very large firm near Varna, I am so happy I took my chances asking her to come to join us.
Denitsa was the missing link between me and our nearshore growth, whereas she minds the enlargement of our network in the area’s.
Denitsa – being a lawyer – is hands on, an excellent communicator, also on C-level, takes initiative and fits perfectly in our team picking up the role of the flexible centipede, whereas her experience makes us better, that’s clear.
I will assist you in any possible way Deni, because I believe you can lift ORKA to the next level(s). You can take that to the bank.
TEMELKO STOILOV
PP/MM/PM/IBP EXPERT
Temelko is our logistics guru. With years of experience – as an expert in fleet logistics – under his belt, Temelko is a wise man who knows how to listen to our customers before coming to any conclusions or solutions. Our customers appreciate his patience and the clear detailed documentation he brings to every project or issue he works on.
He is an excellent team player who always follows procedures and he is a pleasure to work with. We are proud to have him in our team as the leader of our logistics department, taking care of all new projects, new consultants, new clients, with dedicated care and expertise.
I am not sure SAP has secrets for Temelko.
The kind of friend everyone wants.
PLAMEN PENCHEV
MM/SD MEDIOR CONSULTANT
Plamen was an experienced customer service key user in the past and had the guts to start a career in SAP now more the 5 years ago. We took him under our wings, going through the process of having to study and learn each day.
Initially, he started taking care of specific tasks and soon we found out he’s extraordinary in our customers’ support. Plamen was involved in several projects in the last years and has shown his great reliable commitment, whereas he became the internal partner we had in mind, part of our family, and part of Temelko’s team.
Mister loyal, young father, managing his projects and challenges.
JOSE SERVERA
MM/SD MEDIOR CONSULTANT
Jose is a hardworking, fast learning youngster, and extraordinary online marketeer who made the step into SAP consultancy. What a career move, can you imagine the courage it takes? We are truly excited that Jose moved from Mallorca to Varna and has come to work for us since he is such an amazing communicator who, again, has accepted the challenge to study hard and learn SAP in the first place. Honestly, I have not seen someone learn so fast SAP in the recent history.
Jose operates under the wings of Temelko. He is dedicated to important projects and has proven to be a fantastic asset to the team.
Bienvenido amigo!
SVETLOZARA MONOVSKA
MM/SD JUNIOR CONSULTANT
Svetlozara is a young addition to the team. Another ‘bird’ under the wings of the logistics team, she is constantly training to achieve excellence and was assisting our clients very fast. Her experience with ERP systems & sales support gave us the confidence that she will be the perfect match for an SD/MM consultant.
Her drive and motivation are exceptional, on top of that it is obvious Zara shares our core values, bringing a fresh perspective to our office. We are very happy to welcome you to our family. We believe in your potential, and I am sure you will be visiting our clients very soon!
ZAROUI PESHDIMALDJIAN
WM/QM JUNIOR CONSULTANT
I’m so thankful for the opportunity to have Zaroui in our team as WM/QM Junior consultant. Although new to SAP, she brings a rich background in retail product development and brand development, along with excellent communication skills. Next to Temelko as her mentor, I believe she will quickly excel her expertise.
Zaroui is coming from Spain, where she graduated and worked the last 10 years, thus she will also play a role in developing our Spanish nearshore entity. We’re fascinated with her dynamic approach, positive energy and curiosity, so excited to see the impact she will have on our ORKA team! Get to know her!
Welcome Zari!
ALEKSANDAR STEFANOV
FI/CO JUNIOR CONSULTANT
Here’s Aleksandar, young kid, just graduated in International Business in Maastricht, learned theory about Accounting and Financial Reporting, Finance Strategy, SCM, MIS, up to Corporate Governance and Statistics. This is very interesting for us, to have this fresh theory enter our office, combined with the many years of experience from our seniors.
He has done some SAP exercises though, during his exchange in Scotland, doing a case study in Fiori for MM. We have decided to onboard Alex due to his academic background and his capacity to work in a team. He’ll fall under the wings of Nina and will learn fast, he’s such an amazing young potential and fantastic communicator, we’re convinced he’ll do great, you’ll be hearing from him pretty soon.
Welcome Alex!
VANESSA OCEDA
SENIOR ABAP CONSULTANT
Vanessa Oceda is our new Senior ABAP consultant from Spain. She started her career back at the time in a family of developers, diving deep from an early age with a passion for programming and a desire to solve complex issues efficiently and effectively.
Over the years, she worked on a variety of projects, from creating custom reports to implementing enhancements to existing systems, where she also had the opportunity to participate in all phases of the development lifecycle, from requirements analysis and technical design to implementation, testing, and post-implementation support.
We trust her ability to adapt quickly and work proactively and collaboratively, which will ensure outstanding performance for our clients. While increasing her knowledge of ABAP coding, we are looking forward to contributing significantly to our continued success.
IVELINA IVANOVA
CO EXPERT
Have I ever met a person that thinks the way I think about customer satisfaction? The answer is “Yes”. Amongst those people I met that share my vision, Ivelina stands out easily, thinking a few steps ahead. What a joy it is to have Ivelina in our team! How much I enjoy our communication, cannot be described in words.
On top of that, Ive is so mature with CO, it makes our clients feel super comfortable. She is a 5-star.
NINA BEGAZHEVA
CO/PS EXPERT
Nina is our special one, excellent in controlling, full of wisdom in life, energetic and does everything with a smile. Such a long career history, starting as a controller in large companies, and becoming a consultant in Eastern Europe and in the Middle East at a later stage – this makes Nina exceptionally efficient in handling any kind of project or issue she is involved, Nina’s knowledge goes way beyond SAP CO and PS.
Our customers appreciate Nina a lot because of the high-class style she brings, the pragmatic approach she handles and the easy way to communicate with her. If there was a person to clone, we would like to have a second Nina. She is golden and very important for the team.
Controlling SAP with a smile.
IVAYLO DRAGOYCHEV
ABAP EXPERT
Ivaylo is our ABAP team lead, he delivers splendid work and gives fast and accurate results.
Ivaylo perfectly understands business processes, so he can work independently without a functional consultant in many scenarios.
He is the best in class, always willing to help out you and me. A young entrepreneur that is highly appreciated by our customers and coaches the other developers.
Excellence is the word Ivo!
IVANICHKA DIMITROVA
SD/FI SENIOR CONSULTANT
What a mixture of knowledge and experience, you would be amazed! Ivanichka is active in different SAP areas, whereas she cannot stop herself from learning, exploring, and gaining new knowledge.
She is the most reliable and proactive person you can meet while being calm and confident in every step she takes towards the client. Our clients appreciate you Iva, and that’s what matters.
IAN FAHSI
BW/BO EXPERT
Ian is our reporting expert, the magician who delivers fast, accurate, and high quality reports.
Ian has the rare capacity to understand the business and how to transform that into BI solutions. It makes him exceptional since he can visit our customers independently, and we don’t need to send a functional consultant along to support him.
Amazing SAP Ian-san.
IVANKA LYUBENOVA
ACCOUNTING EXPERT
Ivanka has more than 10 years of experience in accounting and payroll administration, gained mostly in a fast-growing international company. We are delighted to have her in our team, taking care of our bookkeeping and payroll, as well as financial reporting.
Ivanka brings not only expertise and knowledge to our office but also a cheerful mood, positive and friendly attitude. We love having Vanja on board!
LUDO FOETS
SD/MM SENIOR CONSULTANT
In our professional lives, I trust Ludo as a reliable partner for our customers, since he cares so much about them in relation to all the changes, all projects we do, and to the support we provide.
Ludo is the most positive person we know when working with clients, which makes him an excellent consultant, coach, and trainer.
We go way back Ludo.
PAVEL HRISTOV
SENIOR WM CONSULTANT
Pavel and me go long way back, almost 10 years. We lost contact over a few years when he physically moved from Varna to Sofia, however ORKA BG being so active in Sofia since 2020, it made a lot of sense to bring Pavel back and put him on specific and well defined tasks.
Pavel is very patient, experienced and open for suggestions, all this happens in an open and polite communication what makes him reliable. Happy to have you back Pavel!
CHAVDAR PESHEV
SENIOR BW CONSULTANT
Coming soon
MILCHO UBICHEV
BASIS SENIOR CONSULTANT
Milcho, the man in many ways. The large experience Miclho has, makes it easy for him to run the projects in which he is involved, as well as the support he gives in stressful, highly demanding and complex environments. It takes a man to mind the team while doing so.
Milcho is involved in high availability setups, it’s that type of clients that expect to be up and running 24/7. On top of that, governance becomes a bigger part of the job, less hands-on and more consulting is the way forward.
JOS POETS
CUSTOMS, TAX & VAT EXPERT
Another guru in our team, Jos.
A former customs agent for many years. He became a consultant in the autumn of his career.
Currently he is indispensable to some of the projects we do which concern complex import-export flows, taking care of the customs and different VAT rules that we apply in SAP.
Highly appreciated sir! You really make the difference.
ANTON DIMITROV
ABAP EXPERT
Anton is our other ABAP team lead that delivers excellent work, giving fast and accurate results. He’s not a twin brother of Ivo, however, he looks at the code and the quality one might be mistaken. Anton carries the heavy task to find, recruit and lead the juniors, a job he takes very seriously.
Entrepreneurship combined with striving for perfection is not the easiest path to take, you have my respect Anton!
