Nadia Kadhim

Everybody is faking it, everyone suffers from imposter syndrome, that should not stop you from taking a leap of faith or make you doubt whether you can do it too.

Lawyer-turned-entrepreneur, Nadia Kadhim, has a long history of advocating for data privacy and protection and is passionate about using technology to level the playing field. She created her business, Naq, in 2021, to help digital health innovators, by automating the compliance hurdle that slows and often stops innovators getting to market.

A Forbes’ 30 under 30 technology winner, Nadia has also been selected by the Dutch Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to be part of the Cyber Runway Ignite programme by Deloitte and is listed in TechRound’s Top BAME 50 Entrepreneurs Under 50.

Nadia speaks Dutch, English, French and German, as well as currently learning Italian. In her spare time Nadia is a Jazz singer and loves dancing.

How did I unlock my potential?

I have always been fortunate to have amazing mentors and friends who both inspire me, as well as, support me everyday to be the best version of myself.
