What a pleasure to be interviewed alongside my bestie, Rosalía Galán, for the Student Paper of The Korea Daily! 🇰🇷 In a three part interview, we spoke about Vision2030 & the opportunities presented by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 for both foreign investors and entrepreneurs - especially for those coming from South Korea. Rosalia, of course, is an encyclopaedia of Saudi business and culture, having lived on and off for over a decade in Saudi through her work with the UNWTO in Riyadh. I drew from my experience at Dizrupt, where we've been working with more and more companies who are either from or expanding to Saudi Arabia. Shoutout to Yani Lee, a very dynamic student & up-and-coming journalist. 👏

How great to see our agency featured on Inc's verified company list! But here's a fun mix-up – they've got us pinned down in Idaho...🤔 As much as we love the idea of being associated with the Gem State (we do like to think of ourselves as a 💎 in our field), we're actually a global team calling Portugal, Nigeria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia home, and we work with clients from all over the world. The only place we're not, funnily enough, is the fictional "Castelo de Vide, Idaho". Although, we'd love the idea of a transatlantic twin town ;) Just a tip for those aiming to get featured on Inc: you can apply for a profile at: https://lnkd.in/eWun959g It's a great step for boosting your online visibility and SEO. And... possibly find your HQ in an imaginary location 🦄  

I'm in Riyadh for a week. 🙋♀️ More than anything, I'd love to meet new people in media, content creators, writers, any intros are appreciated! 🙌 Also, any local businesses looking for PR abroad - Asia, Africa, Europe - hit me up, we can talk over a cup of Saudi coffee, which is consistently the best coffee ever. Tomorrow from 6 PM you'll find me at the Adaverse Launch Event. If you're interested in web3 and its practical applications, yalla, register here: https://lu.ma/wuxtoz27 P.S. Thanks Wizz Air for these direct flights! Last year we had Bucharest - Riyadh, what a bliss...now Bucharest - Jeddah, still not bad.

This is Mostafa Kandil a guy who put Egyptian entrepreneurial scene on the global business map! He grew Swvl from a Cairo startup to a global company and got listed on NASDAQ! For that, he is already an inspiration. Then Mostafa went through a lot of financial and personal stress but never stopped. The business lost its value then rebuilt it again for 3 times in a row but never stopped. He is now rebuilding the company again, reaching profitability, at $1.5m EBITDA. For this persistence, he is a a great role model for every founder! Keep going, brother!

Full house today as I had the honor of addressing 1000 attendees of the 5th edition of Africa's Business Heroes. I was given the opportunity to reflect on the journey of Nawah Scientific since we won second place in this prestigious competition in 2019. To share some stats, since 2019: - Team has grown 600% - Sales has grown 1100% - Lab space has grown 700% - We expanded operations internationally to 4 new countries out of Egypt. and it's still the beginning. #GiveScienceAChanceinAfrica #nawahscientific #africa ##ABHat5
