From CNN Money:
Layla Shaikley's resume reflects her dynamic personality -- she was a NASA intern,
the co-producer of the viral YouTube video "Muslim Hipsters: #mipsterz," cofounder
of TedxBaghdad, and an entrepreneur -- and she's only 30. While pursuing a masters
degree at MIT, Shaikley founded her first startup, which combined development and
data to better protect those in conflict zones like Iraq. It was thwarted by the rise
of ISIS. Shaikley has since cofounded a software company called Wise Systems, which
helps companies make real-time delivery decisions. The company just graduated from
TechStars Mobility accelerator in Detroit.
