“Leila’s efforts were motivated by the same guiding principle – that in providing dignity through work, we can eliminate world poverty – and over the years she found new ways to fulfill that mandate.”

About Our Founder

Leila Janah, our late founder, firmly believed that providing meaningful, dignified, living wage work is the best way to permanently lift people out of poverty. She founded Sama in 2008 driven by the belief that “talent is equally distributed, but opportunity is not.”

One of the first AI companies to be certified as a B Corp, a company dedicated to building a sustainable and inclusive economy. It’s in our DNA.
