Stanislav Popov — Hi, I’m Stan.

A curious mind. An entrepreneurial spirit. A family man.

Technology has shaped my career. People have shaped my journey. Family gives it all meaning.

Three threads

What ties it all together

  1. 01

    A curious mind

    Mathematics, informatics and the question “how does this work?” — from school competitions to building data and AI teams.

  2. 02

    An entrepreneurial spirit

    From retail shops to data, AI, folk dancing and wine — ideas I build, back and believe in.

  3. 03

    A family man

    My wife Petya and our two children are my greatest source of strength and meaning.

My story

Technology matters. People and trust matter even more.

Technology has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. A decade at IBM Bulgaria taught me how to build teams of experts; since 2018 I have been leading RSC, a Data & AI services company I co-founded with my longtime friend Rumen Rachkov.
