Ani is the Programs Director of Impact Hub Yerevan, and Program Manager at Impact Hub Global. While in her twenties, she was coordinating construction crews in post-soviet Armenia, a strictly men-only industry, a challenge in adaptability and leadership that really shaped her. The collective effort contributed to building the "Tumo Centre for Creative Technologies" in Yerevan, a non-profit landmark project providing free education, and fostering skills and creativity at the intersection of art and technology.
Ani holds a Master's degree in "Project and Enterprise Management" from "University College London" (UCL), which opened up doors for her to move beyond the world of construction into the new territory of social innovation.
She started working with Impact Hub Yerevan in 2015 when the first activities started. What makes her excited is to see social innovators coming to Hub with ideas and graduating as they become operational and grow. Her passion, skills, and experience come together when designing, developing, and implementing meaningful projects. Being part of the Impact Hub network, gave her the opportunity to focus on the long-term impact of such projects.
