Background

About Desislav Pashev

As a Vice President at MSCI, I lead complex, high-impact custom data initiatives. I specialize in translating client and stakeholder needs into actionable outcomes by integrating perspectives and aligning cross-functional teams. With a background in Industrial Business from the University of Economics – Varna, I bring a strong foundation in economics, and finance. Over the years, I’ve developed deep technical expertise in SQL, VBA, Power BI, and Python—skills I use to drive automation, enhance data quality, and deliver meaningful insights across projects. I’m known for my collaborative work style, strategic project planning, and commitment to excellence. Whether I’m overseeing custom data projects or guiding project leads, I focus on building capability, fostering inclusion, and ensuring that every initiative aligns with MSCI’s values—client centricity, innovation, ownership, and integrity. What motivates me most is working with talented, diverse teams to create solutions that matter—solutions that bridge silos, challenge conventional thinking, and deliver measurable results. Outside of work, I’m a lifelong sports fan with a passion for physics, music, and cooking. These interests keep me grounded and continually curious, helping me bring fresh energy and perspective into everything I do.
