One of ICONS’ prime goals is to foster career development at ICFO. We already successfully teamed up with the KTT team at ICFO (see the entry on the ICONS-KTT ignite workshop) and now again through KTT we had the pleasure of welcoming Aleksandar Dimitrov. Alex totally fits into the picture of an open-minded young entrepreneur and based on an Economics background he co-founded AYO where he holds also the position as CCO currently. This startup was founded in 2015 and its first product won the Travel Retail Award of 2018 (voted by shoppers).
At ICFO, he gave a talk titled “From A Student Idea To An Innovative Product Sold in 100+ Countries” on the 13th of November that brought together more than 60 attendees. It was a an insightful and interesting seminar, followed by a 30min-engaging discussion, in which he showed us a more technical part including key-points on how to start a high-tech company as well as sharing lots of tips and anecdotes in his career journey with us.
Stay tuned for more career development activities organised by ICONS!
