Shiza Shahid is an entrepreneur, investor, and social activist dedicated to advancing girls’ education and women’s rights.
Shiza co-founded the Malala Fund in 2013 alongside Malala Yousafzai, helping build a global movement for girls’ education while navigating complex political and cultural realities. She later co-founded Our Place, a modern kitchenware brand focused on connection, culture, and home cooking.
In this conversation, we explore Shiza’s journey from activism to entrepreneurship, the realities of building movements under global scrutiny, and what it takes to scale values-led businesses without losing purpose.
