It wasn’t immediately apparent that Shazi Visram, born in Toronto to immigrants from Tanzania and Pakistan, would make her mark in American business.
She cut her teeth in adland, starting the interactive division at Horizon Media in 1999, and later attempted running her own media-buying firm. But it wasn’t fulfilling. “I found myself helping brands get the word out and grow and using the internet. It was exciting, and I was learning a lot, but I also didn’t feel passionate or ownership over my own work.”
So she got her MBA at Columbia University, determined to come out with the tools to build a business of her own.
