2010 JCI TOYP Honoree Sabirul Islam

For his extraordinary work in inspiring entrepreneurial spirit, Sabirul Islam of London, United Kingdom was named a 2010 JCI Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the World (JCI TOYP) recipient in the category of business, economic and/or entrepreneurial accomplishment.

At the young age of 14, Islam established his first venture, Veyron Technology, a web design company where he employed six other youths while attending school. After an educational trip to New York at age 16, supported by Merrill Lynch, who recognized Islam's unique talent and potential, he began trading part time on the London Stock Exchange. Islam followed up this experience with his first book, "The World at Your Feet -- Turning Your Vision into Reality," to inspire young people to succeed through enterprise and entrepreneurship by harnessing each person's intensity, integrity and intelligence.
