Sue has 30 International patents in technology in AI, messaging and security. She has set an example as a tech Founder/CEO for 16 years and has had a strong impact on women entrepreneurs while contributing to non-profit boards for 28 years. Sue will be honoured during a gala celebration at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on November 26th.

Sue Abu-Hakima co-founded Amika Mobile, joining as CEO in 2007, and has had a profound impact by leading the company through its development and launch of new, innovative products, which have recently garnered top awards in the public safety and security industry.

“Receiving the Top 100 Trailblazer and Trendsetters award from the WXN is a great honour for me and I am hoping to continue to set a strong example for young women who have so many more opportunities to thrive in today’s rapidly changing technology world on the web, in social media, in security or with mobile apps. It is far easier to get something going today than it was 16 years ago and I am hoping to continue to help inspire and mentor young people starting up.” said Sue Abu-Hakima, CEO Amika Mobile.
