CTP has appointed Ivanka Ivanova as Managing Director for Bulgaria. The appointment supports the company's strategy to reach €1 billion of rental income by 2027.


Ivanova will head CTP's operations in Bulgaria, responsible for driving portfolio growth, enhancing client relationships, and delivering value for stakeholders, including local communities. Her appointment reflects CTP's ambition to develop its network of CTParks in Bulgaria and support occupiers with Grade A industrial and logistics space.

Ivanova brings over 20 years of leadership experience in the FMCG and distribution sectors across Central and Eastern Europe. She served as Chief Operations Officer and Board Member with Orbico Group, leading supply chain operations in over 20 markets and directing digital transformation initiatives. Her achievements include overseeing multi-country logistics operations, delivering cost savings, leading warehouse automation projects, and growing 3PL business lines to generate over €50 million in annual income.

"We welcome Ivanka to CTP. Her experience in leading complex logistics operations for businesses across numerous international markets makes her the ideal person to lead CTP in Bulgaria," said Remon Vos, CEO of CTP Group. "Ivanka is joining at a time when we're seeing more demand from multinationals nearshoring to the country and more businesses seeking high-quality space here as Europe continues to reindustrialise."

CTP operates CTParks in key Bulgarian locations including Sofia, Plovdiv, and Varna, with clients including Lidl, Quehenberger and DSV. The company owns 13.5 million sqm of GLA across 10 countries as of June 2025.
