Opportunities are the engine of my life.

If they are absent, I strive to create them. And for this, I am thankful to the Universe.

Brand Creation: Asist: I have created merchandise brands such as Asist (tools). Asist stands as one of the most triumphant brands in our nations. We have sold more than five million machines, shaping concepts and strategies.

Company Foundations: Multimillion Turnover – I’ve established companies that have achieved turnovers in the hundreds of millions.

Pioneering in China: Automotive Sales –I was a trailblazer in China, where I sold thousands of ŠKODA cars (Volkswagen Group) amid the construction of a sales network in the Asia Pacific region.

Steel Industry Expansion: Acquisition by ThyssenKrupp: I co-developed the stainless steel market of a company that was subsequently purchased by ThyssenKrupp (a world global leader in steel production).

First in Imports: Energy-Saving Lighting: We were the first to import energy-saving lights, capturing the leading position in both volume and turnover of units sold in the Czech Republic and surrounding countries.

Team Belief: Successful and Otherwise: I am lucky to have wonderful people who believe in my ideas, whether they are successful or less so 🙂

But in reality, I have never lost. I either win or gain experience.

deep respect to:

doncho papazov, my father..

My beloved father, Doncho Papazov, an intrepid Bulgarian oceanographer and yachtsman, etched his name in maritime history with daring voyages. His 1972 odyssey across the Black Sea in a standard lifeboat showcased raw courage. In 1988, he defied the odds with a solo, non-stop circumnavigation of Antarctica, braving the ‚Impossible route‘ below the 40th parallel. His most remarkable feat, a 777-day global sailing adventure aboard Tivia, culminated in the inspiring narrative „With Yana Around the World.“ Papazov’s life is a testament to human endurance and the relentless pursuit of the uncharted.

PAPAZOV FAMILY, 200 years of business

The Papazov family, pioneering since 1820, revolutionized the world of rose oil. Originating in Bulgaria, their legacy flourished, with their exquisite rose oil gracing markets from Paris to New York. As trailblazers, they established Bulgaria as a global hub for rose oil, symbolizing innovation, tradition, and the essence of luxury started when two strongest families Papazov & Rozovi has joined.

If she calls me her “King”, she is undoubtedly my „Queen“

Her wisdom, love, and intelligence are beautifully complemented by a kindness that is simply extraordinary. She walks with me through life, on land and at sea

My mother

I owe my life to my mother, and her ability to believe in my plans from the time I was a little boy. Her role in my life has been maximally motivational. Her boundless understanding was interspersed with strict upbringing regarding morality and ethics. Her profession is a painter and graphic designer. Now, she enjoys the embrace of home and her favorite garden
