About Shama Hyder
Shama Hyder is the strategist CEOs and leaders call when they need to make AI and digital innovation drive real business growth. Named one of the "Top 100 Entrepreneurs in North America" by the White House and United Nations, Shama brings a battle-tested, operator's perspective from founding and scaling Zen Media - a global B2B consultancy serving Fortune 500 brands. She's not another consultant with theories, but a working CEO who’s delivered results for clients.
Across 15+ years and 26 countries, Shama's keynotes have delivered actionable, revenue-driving frameworks to organizations like NASA, Yale, Movado, Marriott, Microsoft, Chase, Toyota, Mastercard, and Disney. After pioneering digital marketing when social media was still called a "fad," she now helps leaders win in markets where six-month-old startups can destroy six-decade-old companies.
An immigrant founder who built her success from the $1500 in her savings account, Shama brings both empathy and edge—empowering organizations to move from "AI talk" to "AI traction." Her Strategic Urgency framework has helped clients spot, interpret and act on market opportunities ahead of competitors, resulting in greater revenue and expanded market share.
