What I'm looking for

I seek senior leadership roles where I can shape strategy, scale digital/fintech products, lead cross-functional teams, manage investors, and drive measurable growth.

I am a strategy-focused executive with extensive leadership experience in fintech, digital services and commercial planning, driving growth, fundraising and operational excellence across Egypt and the region. I have led country teams, overseen budgeting and KPIs, managed investor and partner relationships, and acted as Board Secretary in multiple organizations.

My background spans scaling SuperApps and payment platforms, implementing performance and governance frameworks, and integrating new entities post-acquisition. I combine commercial, financial and operational strategy with hands-on execution to deliver measurable revenue and efficiency results.
