"It is an honour to become the VIAC Ambassador for Armenia. VIAC's strong presence in the CEE region particularly resonates with my background, and I am pleased to serve as a bridge between Armenia's developing arbitration landscape - particularly for technology disputes given the country's strength in that sector - and VIAC’s innovative, time- and cost-efficient ADR services. VIAC CAN is a valuable initiative bringing together experienced international arbitration practitioners with impressively diverse geographical backgrounds, and I look forward to contributing to this knowledge and experience-sharing platform."
