Rana is a Syrian American advocate for refugees and civilians in conflict, and the solution owner of IBM’s Refugee & Migration Predictive Analytics Solution -- a first-of-a-kind solution, leveraging machine learning and cognitive computing to enable Government agencies and humanitarian aid organizations to better manage refugee and migration crises.

She’s been published in the Wall Street Journal, WIRED magazine, and her work has been cited by Yale University and the Foreign Policy Initiative.

In a very intimate conversation, Rana shares her tireless journey to support Syrian refugees, from the US Senate to IBM, and how she learned to get resourceful when all doors seemed to shut down in front of her.
