On the first of two episodes, we talk about the personal turning points that shape how he leads and lives—from moving to the US at 16 to returning to Egypt to work with his father—and the realities of private equity in Egypt. 

On Part 2 coming up next week, we’ll dive into the world of private equity and investor interest in sectors such as education, healthcare and agriculture.
