“It is a big honour for me to receive this award. Even though it’s an individual recognition, I take it as our team award for the whole META region,” said Sorokina. “I would like to thank my family members and my colleagues in different countries of the region who participate with me in charitable activities. Thank you to the leadership team in Ingram Micro META who is always there to support such initiatives. Special thank you to my all-time mentors Dr. Ali Baghdadi and Bahaa Salah, without whose support and guidance this achievement would not be possible.”
