About

Evghenia Burlac is an outstanding finance professional originally from the Republic of Moldova, who has quickly established herself on the international stage as one of the youngest female directors at Barclays Investment Bank in the UK. Born in Moldova, she began her career in banking and, after only eight years of experience, became Managing Director and Head of CEEMEA RSG (Russia, Secondary Markets, Government and CEEMEA Regions Sales Group) at the age of 31, a position she has held since January 2021. Previously, between 2007 and 2021, she was a Director at the same bank, focusing on DCM Corporates and Financial Institutions in the CEEMEA region, demonstrating expertise in emerging markets, sales, and complex financial structures. A graduate of the University of Manchester with a degree in Economics and Finance (2004-2007), Evghenia has accumulated over 18 years of experience in financial services at a global institution like Barclays, a public company with over 10,000 employees. Her career includes key C-Suite roles, focusing on financial and corporate institutions in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Recognized in publications such as Management Today in the "35 Women Under 35" list in 2016 and in The Times as one of the "superwomen" with exceptional leadership skills, she represents a role model for women in finance, contributing to diversity in investment bank leadership. Based in Greater London, England, Evghenia Burlac maintains an active presence in professional networks, with over 500 connections on LinkedIn, where she shares insights from the global financial industry. Although details of her personal life remain private, her early success illustrates the determination of Moldovan migrants in the UK, where she operates in a competitive sector historically dominated by men. Her contributions to the development of funding programs and financial analysis underscore the impact of Moldovan women on the British and European economies.
