Dr. Laila Marouf
Dr. Laila Marouf grew up dreaming of a career in medicine and went on to study computer science, but then veered in another direction, gaining a PhD in information science with a focus on knowledge management. From there, she has embarked on a long career as a professor, researcher, consultant, and academic leader. She credits her own success to creative adaptability. In one sense, she has been preparing her whole life for this moment. In another, this chain of events is a complete surprise.
When I look back on my journey, what strikes me is how each step prepared me for what came next — even though what came next was completely unexpected. By joining the dots between academic research, business leadership, teaching, learning, and my own rational yet intuitive nature, I’ve been able to lead a richer, more impactful, and immeasurably more fulfilling life.
Today’s problems can’t be solved with yesterday’s solutions.

Dr. Marouf is an integrative thinker with an insatiable curiosity, committed to tracing connections between disciplines, cultures and generations. She’s on a mission to connect, empower, and inspire other leaders around the world.
The connecting thread in my career is the "Human Being" and his/her holistic wellness as a person, a professional and a leader.
