Hasnae Taleb (Arabic: حسناء طالب), was born in December 8, 1993 as Hasnae Bint Mourad Bin Al Hussein Al-Idrissi, one of the great-grandchildren of Idris ibn Abdallah ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali, 1st ruler and founder of Morocco and the Idrisid dynasty. Hasnae was born tighted to her dynasty roots that were full of culture and knowledge which left a big impact on her character and personality as a woman to protect her family name and represent it at the best levels throughout her career and life. She has started trading at a very young age, since she was 19, and she thinks that it's a skill that should be thought to kids at even younger years. With over 13 years of experience in the equities market, Hasnae helps clients and corporations structure and restructure their business, build business portfolios, scale their companies, and develop robust investment strategies in capital markets while raising funds through institutional and accredited investors, leveraging her extensive network and deep knowledge of market dynamics. Hasnae co-founded Earnings Winners, one of the most advanced stock market scanners and algo-trading in NYC focused on identifying earnings winners, technical analysis, and automated research. Earnings Winners was later acquired by The Roosevelt Investment Group for $7 million. She has also created, balanced, and rebalanced multiple smartfolios for both short- and long-term investments. Her expertise extends to building white-label trading bots for investment institutions and asset management firms. Currently, she is part of funds with assets under management (AUM) exceeding $4 billion. Hasnae’s career began on the trading floors of Nasdaq, where she quickly gained recognition as the youngest Arab-African woman trader in Wall Street at 21 years old. By 23, she became the youngest self-made millionaire, according to TheRichest, managing over $660 million in assets. Throughout her career, she has contributed to organizations such as Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, and the Abu Dhabi Executive Office, and a trusted advisor across NYC and GCC markets. Her work has earned her several prestigious awards, including the Gold Stevie® Award for Achievement in Finance, the Nasdaq Center of Entrepreneurial Excellence Award, and the UAE Ministry of Economy’s Lifetime Achievement Award, among others. Hasnae’s influence extends beyond finance. She created and hosted Awwal Malyoun, an investment TV show on Al Mashhad TV, where she provided insights into financial literacy and personal finance. Her TV career began when she was appointed Ambassador of Expo 2020 Dubai by the Abu Dhabi Executive Council, hosting her first show Ticket to Expo. Her goal was to inspire younger generations, especially women, to believe in themselves and see their potential; that there is a place for women in the male-dominated and complex world of finance. What’s most striking about Hasnae isn’t just her achievements; it’s her belief in changing systems, not just succeeding within them. She often says, “If no one built the table for you, build your own and make it bigger.” That’s exactly what she’s doing and why she is a model to many younger women around the globe. A member of the American Chamber of Commerce in the UAE, Hasnae continues to leave an indelible mark on the global investment landscape, combining innovation, expertise, and a passion for empowering others in the financial space.
