What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a reputable organization that fosters career growth and utilizes my actuarial skills.

I am an accomplished actuarial professional with extensive experience in the insurance sector, currently serving as the head of the General Actuarial Department at the Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority. My role involves approving the adequacy of mathematical reserves for both life and non-life insurance companies, ensuring their financial stability, and providing technical opinions on complaints. I am also a member of several committees that work on developing actuarial standards and regulations, including the Egyptian Committee for Actuarial Tables Studies.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to significant projects, such as the Egyptian Family Development Program, where I helped formulate objectives and estimate costs for long-term implementation. My previous roles have included team leadership and actuarial specialist positions, where I reviewed actuarial calculations, trained new staff, and participated in setting strategic plans to protect policyholder rights. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and the adoption of international standards in the Egyptian insurance market.
