Iman Abuzeid

Co-founder & CEO of Incredible Health

Iman Abuzeid is the co-founder and CEO of Incredible Health, a company she started in 2017 to help solve the nursing shortage plaguing American hospitals. The service works like a souped-up version of LinkedIn for nurses; their profiles get matched to open positions listed by U.S. hospitals. In August 2022, Abuzeid announced that Incredible Health had raised an $80 million from private investors, valuing the company at $1.65 billion.

Abuzeid exists in rarified air: She is one of only a handful of Black female founders to run a company valued at more than $1 billion. The daughter of a Sudanese surgeon living in Saudi Arabia, she got a medical degree in the U.K., then shifted to healthcare consulting in the U.S.
