RECOGNISING WOMEN IN CYPRUS
10TH CYPRUS BUSINESS WOMAN OF THE YEAR AWARD
The winners of the 10th National Cyprus Business Woman of the Year Awards will be announced at the Hilton Hotel, Nicosia on Friday 22 April at 7pm at a glittering cocktail reception.
Founded by Janice Ruffle, the prestigious awards were established to give a platform of recognition for business women and entrepreneurs across Cyprus. Janice explains “Women continue to transform he face of business and society with leadership roles in various businesses and corporations. They have certain characteristics that set them apart and are generally not afraid to acknowledge their leadership style. This year, I’m honoured to announce Saskia Constantinou, twice winner of the National Cyprus Business Woman of the Year Award, as the Ambassador of the Awards. She, together with Constantinos Shakallis will be hosting the ceremony.”
In an ongoing effort to improve on the Award each year, there will be two categories – the Cyprus Business Woman of the Year Award and the Cyprus Entrepreneur of the Year Award. The first category is for women working for other companies and corporations, and the second, for those who have their own companies registered in Cyprus.
CEO of Apollon International Connections, Saskia Constantinou said “I remember what a huge boost it was for my confidence to win, as well as giving me that added impetus to continue and persevere in my efforts. I am most honoured to be the Ambassador of these Awards and look forward to the new hosting a newly designed ceremony and continuing a wonderful tradition.”
Olga Balakleets, winner of the Russian Business Woman of the Year Award in 2014 is an Ambassador and Head of the Judging panel in a non-voting format. “I’m looking forward to returning to Cyprus for the announcement. What could be better than acknowledging the wonderful work of so many women in Cyprus?”
