Experience: Anna Ouroumian is the refounder, president, and CEO of the Academy of Business Leadership (ABL), a cutting edge social entrepreneurial venture for underserved youth in Southern California, and now in Zambia and China. Under her tenure, over 62,000 kids from across Southern California have gone through ABL's workshops and presentations. Ouroumian was raised in orphanages in Lebanon and came alone to the US as a teenager with only $160 in her pocket and with English as her fourth language. She went on to study at UCLA. She was the only student highlighted at graduation for her inspirational story and for having received the Outstanding Senior Award, the highest honor given to four undergraduates out of 10,500 seniors for outstanding academic achievements and research, as well as service to UCLA and the community. Through her fresh outlook, her creative, strategic, forward-thinking leadership style, and her personal message of triumph over adversity, Ouroumian shifted the focus of ABL. She did this by centering its vision on harnessing the talent of the high-potential, low-opportunity youth to see themselves as "Leaders NOW versus twenty years from now," using entrepreneurial and financial prosperity training, seven core values, and leadership development, as well as providing youth with access and exposure at the highest levels. Subsequently, ABL's youth are empowered to see themselves as the future corporate, entrepreneurial, and civic leaders of America and the world.
