A debilitating accident nearly cost him a leg when he was 10 years old, and a few years later, while studying in college in America, his father’s business in Egypt was nationalised – which is when Mansour took to working in a pizza parlour for $1.25 an hour to make ends meet. Overcoming the challenges, Mansour along with his father, Loutfy, rebooted the family-owned business. Today, the Mansour Group is one of Egypt’s largest businesses with over 60,000 employees, operations in 100 countries and interests across several verticals including automotive, food and beverage, and investments, with revenues of over $7.5bn.
