Under Ayumi’s leadership, Women in Tech® Global operates on four pillars: education, business, digital inclusion, and advocacy. Through education, the organization equips women with the skills to excel in STEAM careers. They foster a supportive environment for women entrepreneurs and leaders through business initiatives.

Ayumi’s dedication to women empowerment and technology has earned her the high patronage of Mr. Emmanuel Macron, the President of France. Women in Tech® Global has also signed a partnership with UN Women and is part of the Edisson Alliance of the Economic Forum.
