About

I’m Daniel Shilev, a marketing professional with 10+ years spanning corporate marketing and entrepreneurship, currently leading employer branding and growth across the Balkans. I build end-to-end recruitment and employer brand roadmaps, manage budgets, and run campaigns that strengthen engagement, candidate pipelines, and brand advocacy.

I’m driven by measurable outcomes—like improving employee engagement by 45% and delivering large-scale campaigns and events with 500+ attendees—while staying hands-on with modern, AI-driven marketing tools and automation. I’ve managed cross-functional stakeholders, led teams and agencies, and shaped brand strategy for both B2C and employer branding goals across multiple markets.
