Phonexa CEO Lilit Davtyan has been named the 2023 Female CxO Trailblazer award winner.
The honor was announced by the independent UK-based Tech Trailblazers Awards, a global awards program and competition across 16 categories dedicated to the enterprise technology startup ecosystem. The award was vetted by a high-profile judging panel and subjected to a public vote.
“I am deeply honored to receive the Female CxO Trailblazer award,” said Davtyan. “This recognition is a testament to the incredible efforts throughout our global organization and the continuous support of mentors and colleagues. I am committed to fostering an environment where innovation thrives, diversity is celebrated, and where every voice contributes to our shared success.”
“2023’s Tech Trailblazers Awards has uncovered another treasure trove of entrepreneurial talent,” said Rose Ross, Chief Trailblazer and Founder of The Tech Trailblazers Awards. “I am always delighted to see new names appearing, but also happy to see a winner from last year come back and win again. Congratulations to all of our 2023 Tech Trailblazers. With our 12th edition it’s been important to not just look at the technology, but also the ecosystem as a whole. The Female and Male CxO categories continue to be popular, to recognize these trailblazing individuals as vitally important to the startup community. Environmental issues also continue to inspire firms entering the Sustainable Tech category.”
This honor from Tech Trailblazers continues an impressive 2023 for Davtyan.
