10 of the Youngest CEOs in the World

The world is full of talented entrepreneurs who are changing the face of business and technology. Some are even paving the way for their peers and inspiring the next generation of leaders. To celebrate International Youth Day, we’ve rounded up ten of the youngest CEOs in the world:

Suhas Gopinath

This young entrepreneur has made it big at an extremely early age. He started his company at the age of thirteen, and at the age of twenty-two he became one of the youngest CEOs in the world.

He was born in a family where academic excellence was the priority, and his passion for programming led him to pursue a career in software development. He eventually founded Narrative BI, a platform that enables non-business users to access their own analytics data in order to make better business decisions.

During his high school years, he was also involved in helping NGOs acquire online awareness and satisfy their passion for technology.

Advait Thakur is an upcoming Indian entrepreneur and teenager. He is currently the CEO of Apex Infosys India, a leading software company that provides global web solutions and services.

His startup company is a success story for many young people around the world. It has helped NGOs and small businesses gain recognition online by providing them digital marketing services for free.

Isabella Dymalovski

When she was 13 years old, she appeared on Shark Tank Australia with a line of products that tried to feel the needs of teenage skin. She was criticized by the sharks for not having enough experience to run her own business, but she wasn’t deterred. She launched her own company Luv Ur Skin in the US a year later and continues to grow her brand.

Mikaila Rodrigues

She was stung by two bees in one week, and she quickly turned her discomfort into an interest in the insect world. She then started working with bees to understand how important they are to the ecosystem. She also began researching pesticides and the effects they had on the environment.

The story of how she came up with her idea for bee-friendly cleaning products is a remarkable example of how ideas can come from the most unexpected places. She now sells her product online and has plans to expand her business internationally.

Evan Spiegel

The American entrepreneur and CEO of Snapchat is a self-made billionaire who was one of the most successful founders of all time. He co-founded Snap with Stanford University students Bobby Murphy and Reggie Brown in 2008. His net worth is estimated to be over $2 billion.

Ben Kaufman

This American entrepreneur and inventor is the CEO of Quirky, a creators’ market that promotes collaboration among innovators from all over the world. The site has a huge selection of innovative and unusual products that can be purchased at affordable prices.

Hecht

This young entrepreneur from America is the co-founder and CEO of Fundera, an Internet marketplace that helps small businesses get finance. His company’s products include an app that helps people find a loan in minutes and a website that allows people to create groups, share videos, and discuss things with each other.
