At Cocoon Creations, Elena has been promoting matters of inclusion of women in tech, for more than 10 years.

Her company Cocoon Creations is certified as an employer of equality by the Cyprus government and 50% of the team at Cocoon Creations are women (including the software developers team). She has also talked publicly many times about the need to have more women in the tech sector and for the past year she is the host of a podcast promoting female innovators in the tech industry and finding ways to "break" the 20%.
