TEDxAl Wahat Road is an independently organized TEDx event based in 6th of October City, Giza, Egypt. This TEDx event is dedicated to sharing ideas that contribute to meaningful transformation within our community. Guided by the belief that progress begins with thoughtful inquiry, the event brings together diverse voices from different disciplines to explore how ideas shape individuals, systems, and societies. Through carefully curated talks, the event highlights evidence-based perspectives that challenge familiar assumptions and invite critical reflection. Speakers are selected based on the clarity, originality, and relevance of their ideas, as well as their potential to spark constructive dialogue beyond the stage. The focus is not on personal motivation, but on ideas rooted in real experience, research, and practical insight. The event aims to create a space where curiosity is encouraged, differing viewpoints are respected, and complex topics are approached with depth and responsibility. By connecting local experiences to broader global conversations, this TEDx event seeks to inspire participants to think differently, engage more thoughtfully, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

    With nearly 8 years of specialized experience in EdTech, professional training, and educational consultancy, I have built a career dedicated to driving business growth and digital transformation across the Saudi, UAE, and Gulf markets. My expertise lies at the intersection of strategic business development and high-impact educational leadership. Currently, as the Business Development Manager at Our Education For Investment, I focus on architecting long-term value through strategic partnerships and innovative EdTech adoption. I am a firm believer that the future of the GCC’s economy depends on the quality of its human capital and the agility of its educational institutions. What I bring to the table: Strategic Market Growth: Successfully spearheaded the UAE branch expansion, securing 10+ strategic partnerships and achieving a 25% increase in market share within the first year. Massive Educational Impact: As an Academic Team Leader, I led 25+ technical training programs, directly contributing to the skill development of over 8,000 students. This role honed my ability to manage large-scale projects and deliver measurable learning outcomes. Revenue & Performance Excellence: Consistently exceeded sales quotas by 120%+ in B2B deals, leveraging a deep understanding of market research, sales pipeline optimization, and tailored solution delivery (LMS & TMS). Partnership Ecosystems: Committed to building sustainable relationships with government bodies and private sector leaders to drive the adoption of digital transformation initiatives. I am passionate about supporting Vision 2030 and the broader Gulf region’s commitment to education and business innovation. Let’s connect to explore how we can shape the future of EdTech together.
