OUR MANAGEMENT TEAM

KOEN VAN DEN BOSSCHE

FOUNDER & OWNER ORKA BE & ORKA BG

I am the founder, owner of ORKA BE (founded in 2008), ORKA BG (2018) and our recently launched sales office in the US (2022).
I have defined ORKA’s DNA to contain the work ethic, the positive attitude and the constant drive towards customer satisfaction.
Our website was built as a business card and represents the three core streams of our company, whereas the true value for us is the people we work with since they were selected as being capable of accepting our DNA and carrying it on. The texts on this page are my own, written as a kind of tribute to our consultants.
I consider myself to be the least important person in ORKA. However, the origin of the name ORKA comes from the times I was with the boy scouts, where my totem was ORKA (or killer whale), brave orca.

KAREN BRACKE

HR & FACILITY MANAGEMENT

Karen is the co-founder of ORKA and supports and motivates me and our colleagues to keep going for continuous improvement, in the area of human resources as in the field of facilities in order to guarantee the perfect working conditions for our consultants. The vision is quite simple: if we treat our consultants as princes or princesses, there is a big chance they will treat our customers as kings or queens.
ORKA consultants shall only worry about their kings and queens, not about their conditions. Karen, in close collaboration with Denitsa, makes sure these are the best on the market.
The specific selection of our consultants plus the cocktail of conditions and benefits makes us meaningful, out-of-the-box, friendly, educated, polite and plain fun to work with.

Denitsa ORKA COO

DENITSA ZHELYAZKOVA

CHIEF OPERATIONAL OFFICER

Honestly, until today I’m impressed we could recruit Denitsa as COO for our Eastern European branch. Her being an operational manager at our former client, and a business developer at a very large firm near Varna.
I am so happy I took my chances asking her to come to join us.
Denitsa was the missing link between me and our nearshore growth in BG, whereas she minds the enlargement of our network in that area.
Denitsa, being a lawyer, is hands on, an excellent communicator, also on C-level, takes initiative and fits perfectly in our team picking up the role of the flexible centipede, whereas her experience makes us better, that’s clear.
I will assist you in any possible way Deni, because I believe you can lift ORKA to the next level(s).
You can take that to the bank.

We knew Gergana from the past when she was working for our IT partner, and we followed her work for a large international helpdesk based in Varna before she decided to join us. Gergana has a very interesting profile and made the switch to “the IT part” of SAP. She used to work in an international environment and that made us excited to see how fast she makes her steps in the world of SAP. Starting as an L1 in SAP Admin Gergana grew to L2 level as fast as a rocket, whereas her appetite for more is unstoppable.
We are extremely impressed and satisfied, you rock Geri!

MILCHO UBICHEV

BASIS SENIOR CONSULTANT

Milcho, the man in many ways. We really appreciate Milcho especially when he looks over Geri. Taking care of Geri. The large experience he has makes it easy for him to run the projects in which he is involved, as well as the support he gives in stressful, highly demanding and complex environments. It takes a man to mind the team while doing so.
Milcho and Geri are involved in high availability setups, it's that type of clients that expect to be up and running 24/7. On top of that, governance becomes a bigger part of the job, less hands-on and more consulting is the way forward.

ABAP team

MR. & MS. ADMIN

SENIOR CONSULTANTS

Orka has its origin in the supply chain. During the years and for sure since we are active with nearshoring, we supply services in all ERP domains, we have our development team, and we support our clients with their SAP Administration queries. Our team helps out our customers and partners with their 24/7 high availability needs, some members of our team take night shifts to ensure all systems stay up while others are asleep. Next to that, supported by our partners in Sofia, Orka delivers experts like Milcho and has a large number of experts in its network, ready to help you and me. We outsourced this part on purpose since it has never been our core business, and there is no direct link with the origin of our services.

BREAKING NEWS:

THIS IS WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT ORKA
