15 Feb, 2021
Software Group’s COO Lucija Popovska was ranked in Top 25 Women Leaders in Software of Europe for 2021, published by The Software Report, a technology market research and insights firm based in New York City. 

The ranking aims to find exceptional women who have contributed to the advancement of the software industry and who act as a role model in their sectors for fellow women colleagues to aim high and work hard. 

Hundreds of women were nominated for this year’s ranking. Each nominee was evaluated based on breadth of experience, professional milestones achieved, contributions to her organization, and, most importantly, impact towards promoting a positive and productive work environment.

Lucija was recognized for her 15+ years of experience as an international development management professional, working on managing operations roles across Europe, Central Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. 

In her current position at Software Group, she is responsible for development and implementation, software quality assurance, systems implementation and support, IT operations, global operations, and project management. 

Lucjia's experience in development management and multi-stakeholder relations spans non-profits, government agencies, corporations, and financial institutions. 

“In the past, when you started a new job in tech management, you had to accept that you were entering a men’s world. Today, I am extremely delighted to celebrate that the situation is consistently changing in the opposite direction, as an increasing number of women are leading tech companies. At Software Group, we prove this trend by having 26% of women in leadership positions contributing to shaping the company’s growth and success. I would like to say a big salute to all the brilliant leaders in this ranking and encourage all ambitious women worldwide to not give up and stand true to their dreams. Because success has nothing to do with gender. It is a function of character, vision, persistence, and perseverance,” commented Lucjia Popovska, COO of Software Group.
