Recently listed on Forbes 30 Under 30 2022 Asia and Prestige Top 100 Women of Power 2023, Raudhah Nazran was a Malaysian government scholar, graduated in Law with honours from the
University of Essex, United Kingdom in 2019. She cut her teeth in social entrepreneurship with seven years of experience in the industry. Whilst studying in the UK she served as the President and Team Leader of a UK-based social enterprise for 2 years, managing 104 members from different countries and macro managing five social enterprises under her. She was the first Asian Muslim female to be appointed to the role by the Board of Advisors after serving for 9 months as the Project Leader of a project based in Ghana helping former sex trafficking women. She was also the first to win the Enactus President and Team Leader of the Year award in the UK after successfully leading her team as one of the Top 3 Enactus Social Enterprises in the United Kingdom.

Her impact in the UK did not go unnoticed. In 2018, she was called by Lord Michael Hastings to the parliament of the UK to speak and discuss issues surrounding youth unemployment and brought
home the International Student of the Year Award. She was also called to speak at the University of Essex United Nations Human Rights Conference in the UK about child’s rights to education.
Returning home to Malaysia and staying true to her passion of creating sustainable change in the lives of the youths, Raudhah founded Accelerate Global (from scratch and with zero capital), a social enterprise aimed at unleashing the best in YOUths through entrepreneurship, career and personal growth upskilling programs especially amongst the underprivileged and marginalised. What started with 0 capital, led her to reach a net profit margin of 39% in her first year despite the pandemic with Accelerate currently valued at RM 6.6 million (USD 1.5 Million) after their pre seed funding round via equity crowdfunding (ECF) back in 2021. This makes her social enterprise as one of only three known
social enterprises in Malaysia to have successfully raised funds through ECF in Malaysia.

Despite only being 3 years in operations, Raudhah has to date led the social enterprise to directly impact over 9,000 youths and have retained a 100% alumni success rate whereby all of the Graduates are either in employment or have successfully started a business to sustain their livelihoods as well as their families’. The impact she and her social enterprise has created allowed them to further improve the lives of over 1,000 individuals (Families of Graduates who are now able to live a good life and siblings who now are in education).

Raudhah’s footprint in Malaysia is also well established as she’s been given a seat in the advisory
board of Curriculum Development of the Polytechnic and College Community Malaysia, overseeing the module development for the Certificate of Business Operations, making her the youngest board
ever appointed. Interviewed by numerous TV and Radio Channels such as RTM 1, Astro Awani and Lite FM, Raudhah too has been invited to many speaking engagements including being invited to
speak alongside the Former President of Timor-Leste and Noble Peace Prize Laureate, Dr Jose Ramos-Horta on Ethical Leadership in ASEAN as well as being invited to speak at a policy dialogue
organised by the European Union Support to Higher Education in the ASEAN Regions.

Amongst her other accolades, Raudhah was also recognised by Tatler Asia as one of the Gen. T Honouree, Top 400 Asian Young Leaders in 2020 and was also shortlisted for the Women of The
Future Southeast Asia Awards 2021.
