What began as a response to her frustration when trying to navigate inaccessible places, AccessNow soon grew to become a mission-oriented social enterprise. As CEO of AccessNow, Maayan has created a powerful shift in thinking about the importance of accessibility in our world, from accessible technologies to infrastructure, public policy, media and communications.
