Dr. Iman Abuzeid

CEO and Co-founder of Incredible Health

Dr. Iman Abuzeid, CEO and co-founder of Incredible Health, and only the fourth Black woman to lead a billion-dollar company.

Born in Saudi Arabia to Sudanese parents, Dr. Abuzeid grew up surrounded by medicine—her father and brothers are all surgeons. She earned her medical degree from UCL, then moved to the US and completed her MBA at The Wharton School.

While working in consulting and health tech, Dr. Abuzeid saw a disconnect: hospitals struggling to find nurses, and nurses struggling to find good jobs. In 2017, she co-founded Incredible Health to fix both sides of the problem:

► Unlike traditional job boards, Incredible Health flips the hiring process: healthcare employers apply to nurses, not the other way around.
► The platform uses AI to match nurses with roles that fit their experience, preferences, and location.
►  This reduces hiring time from the national average of 90 days to just 20, helping hospitals fill critical roles faster and giving nurses better opportunities.

Today, Incredible Health is used by over 1,500 hospitals and 1 million nurses across the US. The platform reached a $1.65 billion valuation in 2022, and saves hospitals an average of $2 million per year.

Dr. Abuzeid’s work for nurses and hospitals has earned her recognition in TIME’s Next 2024 list, as well as Forbes’ America’s Richest Self Made Women list in 2023.
