“I am a storyteller,” explains Elmira. “I have always been passionate about writing and telling people’s stories.” A woman innovator creatively imagines the world as she wishes it to be. With a passion for writing and telling stories, Elmira’s imagination is endless. Her career pipeline is now taking her to Turkey to unleash the entrepreneurship potential in the Middle East. She will undoubtedly tell the stories of her exciting new work there and the people her imagination touches. To a budding woman innovator such as myself, Elmira’s success and continued dedication to the greater good is inspirational.
