Epson Middle East FZCO (EME) has promoted four exceptionally talented leaders to senior management positions within its META-CW Asia operating region, covering key markets including Middle East, Turkey, Africa, and Central & West Asia, centrally managed from a regional office in Dubai, UAE. This strategic leadership enhancement underscores Epson’s newly established sales company’s commitment to investing in and expanding its presence in these dynamic regions.

This milestone is also a significant step towards enhancing diversity and inclusivity within our leadership ranks. By elevating these exceptionally talented female leaders to key positions, we are not only recognising their exemplary contributions, but are creating role models for women within our company and beyond. I firmly believe that diversity in leadership enriches decision-making, drives innovation, and creates workplaces where everyone can thrive.”
The percentage of women in management positions at Epson META-CW Asia is currently 47%, reflecting the organisation’s ongoing commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion at all levels. Epson is progressing this commitment further through initiatives like internship programmes, leadership training, and transparent career development pathways.
