Vilimir has a background in Economics and Mathematics. After an employment as a portfolio manager at the largest Bulgarian asset management company, he decided to get advanced knowledge in Finance on postgraduate level.

He focuses his work on pricing and risk management of financial instruments from different asset classes (bias towards Fixed Income) using the tools of Financial Mathematics.
