Book Anousheh Ansari
Anousheh Ansari is an Iranian-American engineer, entrepreneur and space traveler who leads the XPRIZE Foundation as its chief executive. Her story begins in telecommunications: in 1993 she co-founded Telecom Technologies Inc., a Texas company built around softswitch technology that helped carriers bridge older networks with next-generation systems, and the business was later acquired by Sonus Networks in 2001. She went on to co-found Prodea Systems, an Internet of Things company she led as CEO and chairwoman, which earned spots on fast-growth rankings from Inc. Magazine and Deloitte. Her family sponsored the first XPRIZE competition, the Ansari XPRIZE, launched in 1994 to spark private spaceflight. Ansari then made history herself as the first self-funded woman to travel to the International Space Station and the fourth private space tourist overall. She shared that journey in her memoir My Dream of Stars (2010), written with engineer Homer Hickam. Her honors include the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the Horatio Alger Award and the Great Immigrants Award (2010). On stage she brings a rare blend of founder grit, technology vision and a firsthand view of Earth from orbit.
