HEROINE OF THE WEEK
She is not just expanding access to finance, she is transforming economic opportunities for millions of women around the world.

When Mary Ellen Iskenderian took the helm as President and CEO of Women's World Banking, she embraced a mission that goes beyond banking. Through her leadership, she has championed financial inclusion, empowering low-income women with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to build businesses, support their families, and achieve lasting economic independence.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that true leadership is measured not only by the institutions we lead, but by the lives we empower. With vision, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to equity, she continues to redefine what is possible for women across the globe.

As President and CEO of Women's World Banking, she was among the distinguished voices at the Global Power Women Conference (GPWC) 2025, where she shared valuable insights on financial inclusion, women's economic empowerment, and creating sustainable pathways for women to thrive. Her contribution enriched the global conversation and reinforced the importance of investing in women as catalysts for economic growth and social transformation.

This week, Amazons Watch Magazine proudly celebrates a leader whose impact extends far beyond the financial sector, one whose work continues to inspire women everywhere to pursue opportunity, embrace leadership, and create lasting change.

Congratulations to our AWM Heroine of the Week, Mary Ellen Iskenderian.
