Asma Shabab breaks the rules to reveal how tech impacts humanity

From Istanbul to Los Angeles, Dubai to New York and beyond, Asma Shabab--named a 2019 Woman to Watch for her thought leadership on how technology impacts humanity--is exactly that. "Here's to the rule breakers, the rebels and the transformers," Brandberries editor-in-chief Hamza Sarawy, who compiled the list, wrote. Shabab has always been a rebel, which she defines as continuously exploring how to challenge herself. At school, where she excelled in academics and extracurricular activities, she loved finding creative ways to address whatever was happening around her. Today, in her globe-circling career, she defines rule breakers as those who have the guts to question. "A rule breaker is someone who does things differently," she told Industrious from her Dubai home.
