Armenian woman named Female Business Leader of the Year
Amalya Yeghoyan, Executive Director of the Gyumri Information Technologies Center (GITC), has been named the Female Business Leader of the Year (53 per cent jury vote, 24 per cent public vote) at the Emerging Europe Awards 2024 for her transformative efforts in empowering women through technology education.
By leading programmes that equip women, including displaced and marginalised individuals, with vital coding, business, and entrepreneurial skills, she has enabled many to achieve financial independence and stability, Emerging Europe reported.
Her unwavering advocacy for the role of technology in addressing poverty and inequality has inspired women across Armenia to pursue careers in high-tech fields, creating lasting social and economic change in the region.
Sasha Bezuhanova and Michaela Bakala, both also inspiring leaders, were second and third.
