Technovation is proud to announce the addition of Anar Simpson, a key influencer for women, girls and technology, to its board of directors as it continues to build programs for girls and families that create a foundation for lifelong learning.
A longtime champion for Technovation, Anar Simpson works on the digital inclusion of women with governments, international agencies and technology companies. Her advocacy, partnership, and growth efforts span the policy level – ranging from Deputy to the United Nations High Level Panel on Women’s Economic Empowerment to Strategic Partnerships Advisor to the US State Department’s TechWomen initiative. Simpson has served for several years as Technovation Girls’ Global Ambassador, a role that includes promoting and representing the Technovation Girls program around the world. With her help, the program has expanded to more than 100 countries.
“After years helping Technovation expand to reach thousands of girls around the world, I am honored and excited to join its Board of Directors,” said Simpson. “I am looking forward to many more years of empowering young people everywhere – especially young women – to believe in themselves and their capacity to change the world.”
Technovation’s board of directors offers a wide range of experience and perspectives to help guide and support the organization as it develops free AI and technology entrepreneurship programs that bring communities together to explore new technologies.
