By: GWL Team | Wednesday, 15 March 2023

Mastercard has released a coffee-table book titled "Lasting Legacy - Honoring 25 Visionaries to Celebrate 25 Years of Priceless" that compiles the life stories of some of the most inspirational female leaders in the world across the fields of the arts, sports, politics, hospitality, financial services, and more. The book will be released in 2023 during Women's Month to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Mastercard's famous Priceless platform, which has been helping individuals find their interests for 25 years.

Through this effort, Mastercard continues to open doors and celebrate the contribution of women to society as part of its commitment to making the world more equal for all. The book's goal is to motivate readers to take action in their own lives and communities to reduce the gender gap and build a more inclusive future by examining the roles of these trailblazers.

The legacy piece celebrates the journeys and contributions of women, including Nona Gaprindashvili, a legendary chess player, and Raha Moharrak, a director of communications and marketing at COP28 UAE and a former senior vice president of communications at Expo 2020 Dubai.

"This book has been a great labour of love for us, and a monument to the women who are pushing development and improving communities throughout the world. According to Beatrice Cornacchia, senior vice president of marketing and communications for eastern Europe, the middle east, and Africa at Mastercard, "We hope that the stories in 'Lasting Legacy' will inspire readers, regardless of their gender, to pursue their passions and make a positive impact on society.

"The Lasting Legacy book is more than simply a compilation of stories; it's a precious gift for all women globally and I am delighted to be part of this experience. We are proud of our accomplishments as we mark International Women's Day, but it is also important to acknowledge our collective contribution. We encourage and inspire one another to be our best selves via our shared stories. The book serves as a reminder that our hopes and goals matter and that we should speak up for what we believe in. Roya Khajeh, Associate General Manager and Head of Cards and Payments at Commercial Bank, Qatar, stated, "Together, we will continue to tear down barriers, dispel preconceptions, and pave the way for upcoming generations of women."

"Lasting Legacy - Recognizing 25 Visionaries to Celebrate 25 Years of Priceless" is a representation of how Mastercard's Priceless platform has developed to reflect the company's continual development and the shifting needs of consumers. Mastercard continues to tap into people's passions as it provides chances for individuals all around the world to follow their passion and purpose as Priceless celebrates 25 years.
