Summary

Sheikha Al-Otaibi is a driven entrepreneur with a profound passion for sales and networking. She actively embraces cold-calling, seeing it as an art form to connect with people, understand their motivations, and effectively pitch ideas. Her talent for sales is evident from her early childhood entrepreneurial endeavors selling paper flowers to securing a full-ride scholarship to Babson College, excelling in the Babson Phonathon, and successfully building Interlix Staffing. babson+1

As a co-founder of Interlix Staffing, Sheikha has pioneered an innovative business model focused on social empowerment. Her company specializes in bridging the talent gap by connecting elite remote business professionals and software developers from Latin America—who often have experience at multinational corporations—with US-based businesses. This approach not only provides cost-effective staffing solutions for clients but also transforms lives by fostering sustainable futures and creating remote job opportunities in Latin America. forbes+2

Sheikha is a proud first-generation college graduate of Babson College, where she was an undergraduate commencement speaker for the Class of 2025. Her academic journey, supported by the Natalie Taylor Scholarship and involvement in the Green Leadership Program, allowed her to discover her entrepreneurial purpose and develop her skills. She leveraged Babson's resources and network to launch Interlix Staffing and overcome early career uncertainties, embodying the college's entrepreneurial spirit. babson+3

Sheikha is a strong advocate for betting on oneself and embracing calculated risks. Despite interning at Jimmy Choo, her childhood dream job in fashion, she recognized it didn't align with her personality. This pivotal realization led her to pivot into entrepreneurship, co-founding her companies and becoming a content creator sharing business advice, demonstrating her resilience and commitment to a purpose-driven career rather than societal expectations. beanomalous+2
