The Grand Leadership Exchange Reception, New York City, USA
TechHope Transitions had the privilege of attending the Grand Leadership Exchange Reception in New York City, an intimate gathering that proved to be an invaluable networking opportunity. Hosted by Richard Ogilchyn, CEO of Grand Founders, the event's smaller scale allowed for meaningful conversations with industry leaders, investors, and fellow board members, fostering deeper connections that are often challenging to establish in larger settings.
As a non-profit dedicated to empowering Ukrainian women in the IT sector, this reception provided a platform to share our mission and explore potential collaborations. The face-to-face interactions with Grand Founders’ board members strengthened our relationships and reinvigorated our collective commitment to driving positive change in the technology landscape. This event not only showcased the impressive achievements of Grand Founders but also highlighted the potential for organizations like TechHope Transitions to make a significant impact in the global IT community.
