She has been shortlisted in The Wires Global 2022 for Ad Tech Personality of the Year, which recognises individuals who have made a significant impact on the ad tech industry. During lockdown, Anna developed her own venture and co-founded a digital interactive fitness platform, Ponzu, during the height of the pandemic.
