Our Story
Who We Are
Korayem Group takes its name from Mohamed Korayem — great-grandfather of the founder's family, and a hero of Alexandria's resistance against the French campaign. A man who chose his principles over his life, and paid for that choice with his execution.
That name is not a marketing point. It is the foundation this company was built on: that integrity and results are not a trade-off, and that how you do business matters as much as the business you do.
Established in 2012 and built on over 30 years of hands-on executive leadership across Egypt's most critical industrial sectors — including cement, sugar, food, and investment facilitation — Korayem Group combines deep sector knowledge, government-level relationships, and a proven record of turnaround and value creation.
We do not simply advise — we co-create solutions, align stakeholders, and deliver measurable results.
"We bring the credibility of decades, the judgment of experience, and the commitment of legacy to every engagement."— Dr. Ahmed Shireen Korayem, Chairman & CEO

Leadership Team
Dr. Amr Abdullah Al-Engibawy
General Manager
Dr. Al-Engibawy combines two distinct and complementary careers. He built his early foundation in banking, rising to Regional Manager at Alexandria-Kuwait International Bank over a 14-year tenure — developing financial acumen and client relationship skills at the institutional level. He then transitioned into industrial operations, spending 20+ years at Suez Cement Group where he led logistics restructuring across five plants, restored rail operations after a decade of shutdown, and drove the deployment of SAP systems group-wide. A rare profile that bridges financial discipline with operational execution.
