Sahar Hashimi

Sahar Hashemi teamed up with others to establish the first American coffee chain in the UK - Union Coffee Republic, and turned it into one of the most well-known high street brands in the UK with a turnover of \u00a3 30 million. She gave up her legal career in London and devoted all her efforts to achieving one dream. The Union Coffee she founded played an important role in the early stages of the coffee revolution. In 2001, Sahar left his daily management position at Union Coffee and published a best-selling book, Anyone Can Do It. The book has been translated into multiple languages and has become the second best-selling entrepreneurial book after Sir Richard Branson's work. The Davos World Economic Forum named Sahar as a global youth leader. The Daily Mail of the UK has rated her as one of the 100 most influential women in the UK, and Today Management Magazine has named her one of the 35 top business women in the UK. In 2005, Sahar founded the skinny candy brand Skinny Candy, and in 2007, she sold this well-known candy brand to the candy group Glisten Plc. Her book, Switched On: 10 Habits to Be Highly Effective in Your Job, and Loving it, was published in 2010. In 2011, Sahar was named one of the top 10 original thinkers by the Director of the Board of Directors magazine. He was also honored by Sir Tim Berners Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, and Sir Jonathan Ives, Apple's Vice President of Design and iPod designer. Her entrepreneurial perspective has been praised by the magazine - entrepreneurial talents should not leave large companies in order to achieve success. Entrepreneurial behavior, including ideas such as guidance, prototyping, and celebrating failure, can transform a dull company into a creative environment and transform automated robots into valuable employees. In 2011, she was invited to participate in the Entrepreneurship Forum founded by British Business Secretary Winscaib, providing advice to the government on business and business policies. She currently works at the EON UK Consumer Council.
