I grew up in a real entrepreneurial environment learning from my father who founded one of Egypt’s most successful production businesses at the time. From a young age, and all through university, I was immersed in the challenges of running a business and leading a team of 100 employees.
Needless to say it was a baptism of fire. Those early years shaped me into the woman I am today. I learnt the real meaning of compassionate leadership, and how coaching was critical to the development of my people and my company.
After selling the family business, I moved into the UK corporate world. There I carved a long and successful career as a senior executive in different sectors including Financial, Legal and Professional Services (Magic Circle and The Big 4).
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from some brilliant minds and lead great people. I’ve coached multiple senior executives in different industries, and helped them develop their careers and their leadership style to better serve their people.
