assist film producers, guiding them on tax incentives and providing financial support to ensure project sustainability. Additionally, Cyprus’s growing reputation as a hub for film production opens new possibilities for collaboration with the Middle East. The region has seen important growth in its own entertainment sector, and there is potential for cross-border partnerships that bring together the strengths of both regions. Aspen’s strong connections in the Middle East position us to act as a bridge for businesses seeking to expand their operations into Cyprus or collaborate with filmmakers in the region. How do you personally balance the demands of being a leader in a competitive industry while maintaining focus on community impact and mentorship? Balancing my business and personal life has been one of my biggest challenges which, if I am honest, it is still in progress. I do, however, make the conscious choice daily to manage my time efficiently and delegate tasks where needed. This allows me to focus on the aspects of leadership that matter to me the most. Mentorship is something I am very passionate about, and it rests very closely to my heart. As a result of that I always have the time, zest and energy for it. Whether it is through formal mentorship sessions or more casual conversations, I take every opportunity to support and encourage the next generation of leaders, thus making an impact in the community as a whole. My dedication has been recognized through several prestigious awards, particularly the Citywealth Powerwomen Awards. In 2025, I was honored with the GOLD Mentor of the Year award, marking my second time receiving this recognition, following the same award in 2023. Additionally, I was awarded the GOLD Powerwomen Award in 2022 as Woman of the Year – Leadership – Financial Organization (CEO and Board Member). These awards reaffirm my ongoing commitment to excellence, empowerment, mentorship, and leadership. Beyond these, I have also received other notable Citywealth Powerwomen Awards, including Woman of the Year – International – Bronze in 2024 and Woman of the Year Cyprus – Silver in 2024. 26 CEO TODAY MIDDLE EAST AWARDS 2025 © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED IMH
