Mariyah Saifuddin, CEO and co-founder of Innovation Solution Partners, is more than a leader in tech- she’s a catalyst for economic growth and a champion for women in business. Named one of Purpose Jobs’ 26 Top Women in Tech for 2024, she’s built a company that’s not only thriving in a competitive industry, but also making a measurable impact on the businesses and communities it serves.
With over two decades of experience, Mariyah has helped position Innovation Solution Partners as a key player in the IT and enterprise software space. Headquartered in the Midwest, her firm has become a trusted SAP partner for clients nationwide, helping companies harness data and technology to streamline operations, drive performance, and boost profitability. The solutions she and her team provide have supported business expansion, workforce development, and strategic decision-making for clients across industries.
Under Mariyah’s leadership, the company has generated strong, sustainable revenue growth, created high-skill jobs, and contributed to the economic vitality of the region. Her approach, blending technical expertise with a deep understanding of business needs has made her a sought-after voice in digital transformation and analytics.
Her influence extends beyond her company. Through the Great Lakes Women’s Business Council, Mariyah has tapped into a network of support that helped accelerate her growth. She’s actively given back as well serving as a MentorWE participant, leading last year’s Power BI Corporate Session, and making it to the Final Four in the 2022 Women’s Business Conference pitch competition. These engagements have allowed her to share knowledge and inspire other entrepreneurs to embrace data as a driver for business success.
In 2023, Mariyah took her message global, speaking twice in Istanbul, Turkey on the impact of artificial intelligence in business. These international appearances have positioned her as a global thought leader.
Mariyah also leads with purpose. As current president of the Detroit chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO), she’s advocated for policies that support small business growth and created spaces for other women to thrive. Her efforts have helped strengthen the regional small business ecosystem while amplifying the voices of underrepresented founders.
She credits much of her strength and resilience to the lessons she learned from her mother, Jumana Rasheed, who instilled in her the importance of grit, faith, and possibility. Coupled with her participation in elite programs like Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business Executive Education, Mariyah continues to evolve as both a leader and changemaker.
