My conversation with Karima El Hakim

I’m joined today by Karima El Hakim, Country Director at Plug & Play Egypt, and co-director for the company’s operations in the rest of Africa. Just as importantly, for me she’s one of the show’s biggest fans! Not only has she recommended multiple people who’ve become guests, she’s probably also the guest who came the most prepared to the interview with a detailed list of pivot points.

On Part 1 of my conversation with Karima, we’re criss-crossing through both her personal and professional journey, from growing up in Egypt in a Francophone home to her pivot to technology and the investment world.
