Background

About Mateya Nikolova

As a Research Associate at Stanton Chase, I specialize in executive search within the Consumer Products & Services, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Social Impact, Government & Education business sectors. I work closely with global clients across these business sectors to identify and engage top executive talent. I support the full lifecycle of executive search - from shaping search strategies and conducting market research to candidate engagement and business development. What drives me is more than just filling roles, it is the opportunity to positively impact careers and help organizations grow through great leadership. I am deeply motivated by the belief that people have incredible potential, and I thrive in roles that allow me to support their journey. With a strong foundation in research, communication, and relationship-building, I bring a thoughtful, people-centered approach to every search. I believe in creating honest, collaborative partnerships and delivering a candidate experience that is insightful, respectful, and rewarding for everyone involved. I am continuously learning and evolving, embracing challenges that push me forward - both personally and professionally. Feel free to contact me on LinkedIn or via at: m.nikolova@stantonchase.com.
