Markham, ON, October 17, 2024 — Irena Sakic is delighted to announce her inclusion in the prestigious 2024 CMP Top 50 Women of Influence, a comprehensive roundup that highlights the best in the industry.
As an impartial authority in the mortgage sector, Canadian Mortgage Professional conducted an exhaustive research study to identify and showcase the industry’s top performers. In this thorough assessment, Irena Sakic has emerged as one of the distinguished contributors to the industry.
Canadian Mortgage Professional’s 30+ strong Intelligence Unit determined the winners by following a rigorous process, which included interviewing objective industry professionals, conducting extensive research and canvassing our editorial panel. The winners are those who matched the exacting Top 50 Women of Influence criteria.
Irena Sakic takes immense pride in being acknowledged as one of the industry’s finest within the mortgage domain.
“Historically, women have been underrepresented in leadership roles in most industries, and also in mortgages – despite possessing the right qualities to become a good leader. I navigated this challenge by demonstrating resilience, a commitment to continuous learning, and always building my network of both women and men in the industry.”
Chris Sweeney, Managing Editor for Special Reports at Canadian Mortgage Professional, shared his insights on the selection process, stating, “The expert judging panel were faced with so many high caliber nominees and the standard was truly impressive.
