Founder and advisor
I've founded, sold and exited four companies.
All of them in Egypt and the Emirates. Now I open and fix markets in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia for European companies, from the first distributor to the hard moments.

About Second Life RO→Before this
DiveMix and INMATEC, founded and sold.
DiveMix, Egypt. I founded it in 2004, held the majority and ran it as CEO, then chaired its board from 2013 until it sold in January 2022. Compressors and gas systems, first for the Red Sea dive boats that couldn't keep theirs running, then for industry, medical, and oil and gas. I kept every employee paid through the Egyptian revolutions of 2011 and 2013.
INMATEC Gas Technology, Ras Al Khaimah. I co-founded it in 2013 with two German partners, was its largest shareholder and ran it as managing director. Nitrogen and oxygen generation plants, and my territory was Africa, Middle East, Indian subcontinent and Far East. It sold during COVID, in December 2020, and I stayed on as managing director until August 2022.
Before either of them I ran Emperor Divers' operations on the Red Sea, until my boss fired me in 2002 and gave my job to my secretary. DiveMix started two years later, and I've built my own companies ever since.
