On July 10th, we had the privilege of welcoming John Ridding, CEO of Financial Times, along with Mr. Tsuyoshi Hasebe, President & CEO of Nikkei Inc., and their executive team to our Sofia office. In honor of their visit, we hosted an engaging in-person town hall event. During the town hall, our colleagues showcased several presentations highlighting our product strategy and the innovative work being done at FT Sofia. A central theme of our discussions was the pivotal role of data and AI in advancing FT products. We also explored developments in multimodal and multichannel content delivery, personalization in product offerings, market expansion, and targeted audience engagement. A heartfelt thank you to all our visitors, presenters, and organizers who made this event a resounding success. Your contributions have strengthened our collaboration and set the stage for future milestones.

At the beginning of summer, our colleagues from the Sofia office joined the exciting team-building event at St. Sofia Golf & Spa. It was a blast and so much fun!  From the icebreaker activities and the "Mission Possible" team game in the morning to the rewarding ceremony in the afternoon, the day was packed with creativity, connection, and great memories.  Thanks to everyone for your enthusiasm and participation. ✨

Last Thursday, June 27, the FT office in Sofia became the meeting ground for a prolific discussion of DEI efforts in Bulgaria. Representatives of 18 companies came together in an event, hosted by the FT HR team, to exchange strategies to: 🏷 overcome resistance to DEI initiatives; 🏷 increase the engagement of majority groups; 🏷 learn from the successes and challenges of both well-established and innovative DEI practices in the Bulgarian context. In this first collaborative effort, some questions found their answers but others just started looking for theirs. Special thanks to the panelists Boyan Zahariev, Milena Stoilova, Stanislava Baltova, Denitsa Sotirova, MSc and Rukasana Bhaijee, as well as the participants in the roundtable discussion. 👏

On June 20, 2024, FT Sofia employees joined the Pride Month celebrations with the screening of a short film, Think Freedom: Freedom is an Action. The film told a real-life story, showing the struggles and successes of LGBTIQ+ activists in Bulgaria, and was followed by a discussion. The event was organised by FT Proud - an ERG (employee resource group) aiming to create a supportive and inclusive environment for the LGBTIQ+ community representatives within the FT. #lifeatFT #FTProud
