Maya Kobalia is a Master of Ceremonies, storyteller, and a passionate voice for change, known for her captivating stage presence, eloquence, and deep commitment to social impact. With a unique blend of professionalism, charisma, and global perspective, Maya brings authenticity, warmth, energy and a deep sense of purpose to every event she leads - be it high-level conferences, international forums, or cultural celebrations.
Her journey is as inspiring as it is global. Currently serving as the Head of Environmental and Social (E&S) Development at the Microbank Crystal, Maya is a tireless advocate for sustainability and social responsibility. Her dedication to creating real impact was recognized on the world stage when she became the first UN Global Compact SDG Pioneer from Georgia - a trailblazer for sustainable development.
Maya is also a proud Buzz Women Global Changemaker, using her platform to uplift women and communities through empowerment, financial inclusion, and behavioral change trainings. Her leadership and curiosity have taken her around the world—from studying in Estonia, Germany, and Poland, to cooperating with organizations in India, the Philippines, Zambia, and the United States (among others).
A linguist at heart, Maya speaks six languages and connects with diverse audiences with grace and authenticity. She’s an alumna of both the Vital Voices Leadership Program and the U.S. Open World Leadership Program, where she deepened her commitment to mentoring and meaningful dialogue.
When she’s not hosting events or championing sustainability, you’ll find Maya reviewing leadership and behavioral science books in Georgian, or playing the piano and guitar—always finding new ways to inspire and be inspired. More than just a master of ceremonies, Maya brings heart, intellect, and global perspective to every stage she steps on. She believes in the power of words to move and uplift people—and in the power of people to change the world.
