Zakir Hussein: Young entrepreneur approaches success through innovation

Zakir Hussein: Young entrepreneur approaches success through innovationA few decades ago, becoming a CEO before your thirties was unheard of. Nowadays, with mentors like Facebook\’s Mark Zuckerberg and Groupon\’s Andrew Mason being huge successes in their twenties — the same age as many university graduates — many students are considering creating a job over finding one.

Zakir Hussein, 22, is one such student. In March, he won the 2012 regional championship for Western Canada in the Student Entrepreneur National Competition, organized by Advancing Canadian Entrepreneurship.

\”I realized, I could be an employee, or I could be my own boss and share my vision with the world,\” says Hussein, a student at the University of Calgary who is majoring in both petroleum geology and environmental management.
