Almost five decades on, he and his family stand at the helm of some of the largest companies in North Africa and the Middle EastThey have partnered with global brands from General Motors and Caterpillar to McDonald''s and invested early in Silicon Valley successes such as Facebook, Uber and Airbnb. He also served as Egypt''s Transport Minister from 2005 to 2009.
Filled with hard-won wisdoms, Mohamed Mansour''s inspirational story demonstrates the importance of learning from experience and never giving up in the drive to succeed.
