Shiza Shahid Biography

Shiza Shahid is a Pakistani social entrepreneur, social activist, investor, and educator. Through her various endeavors and commitments, Shahid has been instrumental in driving impactful change.

As the co-founder and former CEO of the "Malala Fund," Shahid worked alongside Nobel Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai to champion the cause of education for every girl. This advocacy effort has been globally recognized and appreciated. She also co-founded "Our Place", an ethical kitchenware brand that collaborates with immigrant communities. "Our Place" has launched successful products like Always Pan, which has attracted attention from multiple quarters, including celebrities like Lizzo and David Beckham.

Her entrepreneurial journey continued with the establishment of NOW Ventures in 2017. She co-created this investment fund to support mission-driven startups, with a special emphasis on those led by women and diverse entrepreneurs.

She has been a disruptive innovator, leading new initiatives and challenging the status quo. She is also the host of the USA Today show "ASPIREist," where she continues to inspire action on pressing issues.

As an accomplished speaker, Shahid has been invited to deliver talks at prestigious forums such as the Aspen Ideas Fest, Milken Global Institute, and World Economic Forum. She is known for her engaging keynotes on women's empowerment, building inclusive brands, motivating millennials, and the societal impact of technological innovations. At the University of Wisconsin - Madison, she received a standing ovation for her inspiring and articulate speech. She is represented by CAA Speakers for her speaking engagements, part of an esteemed roster that includes other notable speakers such as Jenny Fleiss, Ally Love, Meena Harris, Arlan Hamilton, and Reshma Saujani.

A Stanford University graduate, Shahid has studied exponential technologies at Singularity University.
