In 2009, the rules of pitching competitions were rewritten by an innovative, socially-driven entrepreneur from Hult International Business School.

His name is Ahmad Ashkar, and he is the brain behind the Hult Prize.

The son of Palestinian parents who moved to the US in the 1970s, Ahmad began his career in finance in 2002, working on Islamic mortgage securities in the run up to the financial crash.
