Sabeen Ali among 100 influential leaders

SAN FRANCISCO,CA–Sabeen Ali has been named in the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business’s inaugural list of “100 Influential Leaders.”

“Throughout the past 100 years, business graduates can be found across all facets and levels of commerce — in large corporations, small business, the nonprofit industry, the public sector and government alike — pioneering change, fostering global exchange, and improving quality of life,” noted the AACSB, in its announcement.

Sabeen Ali, a graduate of the University of San Francisco’s Masugung School of Management, has worked throughout her career to advocate for an increased presence and visibility of women in technology. In addition to her role as CEO of AngelHack, Ali has also founded the nonprofit organization Code For a Cause, which teaches women and young girls how to code.

“Code is a universal language that it speaks to equality, because it does not reveal gender, race, or class in the end result,” said Ali in a press statement about the list. “Being an entrepreneur and possessing that spirit means finding the opportunities to advance within any environment,” she said.

AngelHack’s mission is to help corporate change-makers throughout the world drive open innovation for products, platforms and brands by connecting them to the world’s hacker community. The company’s outreach initiatives are crafted to help corporate change-makers connect with the workforce of the future.
