Judith A. Saryan

JUDY SARYAN was born in Delaware and graduated from Wellesley College in Massachusetts with a major in economics. She spent her career in the financial industry, most recently at Eaton Vance Management, where she was vice president and portfolio manager. She has been called upon numerous times to provide financial commentary for The Boston Globe, The International Herald-Tribune, Reuters, and The Wall Street Journal, and she has been featured on CNBC and CNN. Saryan recently left her successful career in order to pursue her passion for literature and history. For her first project, she is working with the Armenian International Women's Association (AIWA) to showcase the work of newly translated Ottoman Armenian author, Zabel Yessayan. Three years ago, after watching a short documentary called Finding Zabel Yessayan, Saryan was determined to introduce this groundbreaking author's legacy to a wider audience. She joined a group of women from AIWA, and together they arranged for the English translations of two of Yessayan's works.
