About

Product and partnerships leader with 15+ years across EdTech, FinTech, and Logistics, working in the MENA and Africa startup ecosystem. I currently work at EdVentures, a venture builder and investment firm, supporting portfolio startups on product, go-to-market, and partnerships. I also run a fractional consulting practice. My background spans product management, B2B sales, community building, and training, with experience at EdVentures, ALX Africa, Mrsool and more. I've built products from zero, closed partnerships in markets where trust and relationships matter more than pitch decks, and helped early teams figure out what to build, who to sell to, and in what order. I can help founders with: - Product-market fit and early product decisions - Partnership strategy: finding, pitching, and closing B2B and institutional partners - Go-to-market and first-customer sales - Using AI in operations and product workflows Best fit: pre-seed to seed startups in EdTech, FinTech, logistics, and AI-enabled products across Egypt, MENA, and Africa. I'm direct, action-biased, and I prefer a concrete next step over a long strategy discussion.
