Who am I
My name is Miglena Hofer. I am a Bulgarian who moved to Austria in 2012 for love. I am a mother of two children and a member and supporter of the international community in Austria.
I am a legal professional, a licensed business consultant and a business mediator in Austria. I am also a book author, parentpreneur, trainer, avid coffee drinker, a born bookworm, and music lover.
As you can see, I have many roles and I bring all of them to my work.
I also truly love what I do.
The full list of my qualifications you can find below.
HOW DO I WORK
If you want fast, generic answers, I am not the right professional for you.
If you want someone who guards your interest at all times and advises you according to that, even if the advice is not what you really wanted to hear, I am your consultant.
I am a devotee of life-long-learning and I am not shy of saying “I don’t know, but I will think about it and get back to you.” to you. My affection for life-long learning serves you and your needs.
You can always approach me, preferably by email. I don’t comply with the culture of immediacy and therefore, it takes me 2-3 days to answer emails. I do, however, read all of the emails I get the day I’ve got them. So, if there is a deadline running out or an objective emergency, I will reach out to you immediately.
Mondays have become sacred to me. This is my day to plan and organize the entire week, so on that day, I do not take calls, answer emails or hold meetings.
Why should you hire me
I will make things quick and easy for you, so you can focus on the things that made you (want to) start your business.
Whatever is possible, will be done for you.
You should hire me, so I can save you a lot of headache and money.
