CRC Press has published a new book, "Women Entrepreneurs," featuring eight inspiring stories, and the first story in this book is about this girl you see on the photo. As much as I'm trying to avoid being too sentimental, I am super proud of little Iryna Novikova (my younger self) for making it this far. From the days of nervously standing on stage during childhood contests, to juggling motherhood with my role as Chief Development Officer at a major media outlet in Ukraine, and eventually starting anew on another continent amidst the full-scale invasion, it has been a challenging journey. My family faced immense danger, my team fought to survive, and I was determined to save and restart our business. It still isn’t easy, and we are very much in the beginning of our journey. Yet, I continue to strive for success, doing everything I can for herself and my team. A heartfelt thank you to my co-author, Natalia Kochkina whose kindness and support have meant the world to me. And of course, my gratitude goes to the amazing editors: Dr. Tilottama Singh, Richa Goel, Dr. Manleenjot Kaur, and Michela Floris. Your phenomenal work and belief in my story are truly humbling. I am proud to be in such esteemed company. Thank you for choosing to write about me! And please, someone pinch me!
