Born and raised in Cairo, Egypt, I’ve always embraced leadership and a drive for excellence.I honed my leadership skills early, balancing school life with a passion for sport and becoming president of the student union during high school. Pursuing a degree in English Literature at Ain Shams University allowed me to combine my love for language and communication, a foundation that would later serve me well in my career. After graduation, I embarked on what was initially a one-year plan to work for Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi. Instead, my role quickly evolved into a decade-long career in operations and wellness management. At Etihad, I was entrusted with overseeing high-stakes initiatives and learned to navigate complex, dynamic environments. My focus was on enhancing team performance and implementing strategies that boosted organisational resilience. Following this, I joined Technogym in Dubai, where I supported the company’s expansion in the wellness sector before relocating back to Cairo. My corporate experience, combined with a passion for making a tangible impact, ultimately led me to pivot into the venture capital world at Alknz, where I now thrive in bringing innovative ideas to life.

As the Head of People and Culture at Alknz, my mission is to foster a vibrant, inclusive workplace where every individual feels valued and empowered to bring their best. I focus on building a culture that prioritises employee well-being, engagement, and development, creating an environment that thrives on creativity and collaboration. Working within a global venture capital firm, I’m dedicated to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, feels included and celebrated. I strive to nurture a space where diverse stories and heritage are embraced, allowing us to learn from one another’s unique perspectives. Ultimately, my role is about cultivating a sense of belonging and unity, helping our team to flourish together as we pursue shared success.
