Global Press Institute founder Cristi Hegranes was among 14 people to be named an Emerging Innovator by Ashoka Changemakers and American Express today.
Hegranes will join 14 other top innovators from across the U.S. — including Sombit Mishra of QMedic and Barbara Bush of Global Health Corps — for a 2-day innovator’s bootcamp in New York City in May. Ashoka Changemakers and American Express said the winners were, “Pioneers with solutions to some of the world’s most critical challenges in areas such as health, urban planning, economic empowerment, and citizen access to technology.”
Hegranes founded GPI in 2006 and has grown the organization into one of the world’s foremost producers of professional, feature news content from the developing world. GPI employs 133 women in 26 countries.
