In addition to a reliable and fast mobile network, Yettel aims to offer its customers a wide range of digital solutions that are simple and convenient to use and make their everyday lives easier. It aims to achieve this by focusing on professional and forward-looking analysis of the data collected on its network. To further this goal, Yettel Hungary is establishing an Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis Department within the Commercial Division. Reporting to Chief Commercial Officer Nemanja Zilovic, the new department will start operations under the leadership of Denitsa Gavrilova, who has recently joined the Yettel team as Director.
Denitsa joins from Deloitte in Bulgaria and has previously worked as a consultant for the mobile operator, so Yettel will be a familiar environment for her. She has over 7 years’ experience in data science and 10 years’ experience in telecoms – working for A1 and completing various projects for O2 UK, Vodafone, Orange and other telcos around the world. She has a PhD in behavioural economics and social sciences and 12 years of teaching experience in Statistics, Marketing Strategy and Graph Neural Networks.
She mobilised and led business, data and engineering teams to deliver innovative solutions for projects of varying sizes. She has extensive knowledge of the telecom, banking and EV industries and has worked on a wide range of projects focused on developing advanced machine learning models to facilitate data-driven decisions. She has always been passionate about end users and their behaviour.
When it comes to sports, Denitsa enjoys skiing, tennis, horse riding and surfing. She also relaxes by cooking and listening to audiobooks, with her favourite book being ‘Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!’. She is an absolute advocate of active rest and does most of the activities together with her family and her two children. She is always open to trying new sports and activities.
