Item description from the seller

Mohamed Mansour has spent his life fighting adversity. Born in Egypt in the post-war period, his childhood was halted abruptly when, aged ten, he almost lost a leg in a devastating car accident. At 18, he had to support himself through college in the US when his family’s assets were seized by the Egyptian government. Aged 20, he fought cancer. Then, at 25, he returned to Egypt to help revive the fortunes of his family’s once thriving business group as it steadily diversified into sectors from automobiles to construction equipment, fast food to venture capital.

Almost five decades on, he and his family stand at the helm of some of the largest companies in North Africa and the Middle East. They 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.
