  role: Founder
  bio: Born and raised in Cairo Egypt, I have a B.Sc. in Construction Engineering from the American University in Cairo. I then went on to get my M.Eng. from Cornell University, and soon after my MBA from Cornell as well. I ended up working on Wall Street as an Investment Banker for Citibank, where I covered the fertilizer sector globally. After Citi, I moved back to Egypt to join the family business and work on some projects of my own. A couple of years later, I came up with the idea for ShipBlu!
