Episodio n. 14: I fondamenti di Suzanna Shamakhyan: innovazione, pensiero sistemico e impatto

This is well worth a listen if you have some time. If you don’t, I’d still recommend checking out the latter chapter where they get into Armenia’s future and diaspora involvement.

> Today’s guest is Suzanna Shamakhyan, Executive Director of FAST (Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology) — a leading institution working to accelerate innovation, science, and talent in Armenia. With a background in education diplomacy, policy, and diaspora engagement, Suzanna brings systems thinking and emotional intelligence into every room she enters. She’s also a mother and a mentor, navigating leadership with grace and groundedness. In today’s episode, we dive into the foundations of Suzanna’s purpose-driven work, her vision for Armenia’s tech and education future, and how she balances personal clarity with national responsibility.
