Somali entrepreneurs and business people

[juzme123]

This is a thread about Somali entrepreneurs and business people who have made it big time. They need to fit in one of two categories:

(a) entrepreneurs who started a business, grew it and became seriously wealthy

(b) not neccesarily wealthy people but are in high ranking positions within businesses/companies whether they worked their way up or were born into the family business.

Add any that you can think of.
