Executive chairman, Wamda Capital
While Ghandour is best known for founding logistics and transportation firm Aramex, the fact that he guided it to become the Arab world’s first company listed on Nasdaq shows that he knows how to take an idea and turn it into a scalable business. Leveraging that experience and helping other startups succeed, Ghandour is now the chairman of Wamda Capital, a venture capital fund that has consistently backed companies that have gone on to see much success. These include Mumzworld, Yalllacompare, and Careem, among others. He also actively encourages founders to give back and build the regional entrepreneurship ecosystem.
