Mila Petrova came to the United States from Eastern Europe to go to college. Her education included her first exposure to prejudice and bias. \u201cMy roommate had never traveled out of her state\u2014home was all she knew,\u201d remembers Mila, who describes \u201ca bit of a clash right there at the beginning.\u201d Having come from a country that was \u201cvery closed and limited in terms of information,\u201d Mila was surprised to find people with many choices who would shut out the world. \u201cOpenness should be an instinct,\u201d says Mila, who searched for her people and quickly found them: fellow world travelers.<\/p>\n
In 1995, Mila began her tenure at PricewaterhouseCoopers and has grown and risen through the ranks of this global organization. Today, she is an Assurance Partner in PwC NY\u2019s Technology Media and Telecommunications practice. Her experience in technology, business information, advertising, publishing and music have served her well, including during her years in PwC\u2019s National Office and PwC London.<\/p>\n
Mila works primarily with professionals at PwC who are 30 and younger, and relishes the chance to work across generations as well as cultures. She credits PwC for its accountability to matters of social injustice at the leadership level and throughout the organization, but appreciates being directly involved in solutions<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to do more than hear people\u2019s heartbreaking stories, empathize with them and write a check,\u201d says Mila. She shares Global Nomads\u2019 mission to connect young people so they can discover their common joys and pain, and form lasting bonds. \u201cListening and respect are the foundation for everything good to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
Global Nomads welcomes Mila\u2019s expertise and heartfelt ambition to grow its impact. \u201cIf you can reach thousands,\u201d she asks, \u201chow can you use your skills to reach millions?\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1695,"template":"","class_list":["post-3920","board_of_directors","type-board_of_directors","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gng.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/board_of_directors\/3920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gng.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/board_of_directors"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gng.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/board_of_directors"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gng.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gng.org\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
