As the proud mother of three grown-up children — two of whom are internationally ranked chess players — Anna views chess as a metaphor for life, as she believes that the moves one chooses to make in chess reflects one’s personality and values. Just like a chess player, she is herself able to think multiple steps ahead and make well-considered decisions to deliver the best solutions for her clients.
