About
Founders
Ali NasserFounder
Born and raised in Cairo Egypt, I have a B.Sc. in Construction Engineering from the American University in Cairo. I then went on to get my M.Eng. from Cornell University, and soon after my MBA from Cornell as well. I ended up working on Wall Street as an Investment Banker for Citibank, where I covered the fertilizer sector globally. After Citi, I moved back to Egypt to join the family business and work on some projects of my own. A couple of years later, I came up with the idea for ShipBlu!
Ahmed ElKawassFounder
I have a BA in Politics and Economics from Northumbria University, UK. Prior to founding ShipBlu, I worked at Unilever, Nestle and Reckitt Benckiser between the Sales and Supply Chain departments. I then took a leap of faith and decided to move to Leo Burnett followed by JWT where I gained plenty of experience in the marketing and advertising field.
Abdelrahman HosnyFounder
I'm mainly interested in combinatorial optimization problems, with efficient implementations. This lies at the heart of ShipBlu operations. To that end, I investigate the use of machine learning techniques to come up with novel implementations that offers new solutions. I'm pursuing a PhD in Computer Science at Brown University. Prior to that, I had a Master's in Computer Science and Engineering from UConn. I have been enjoying building cloud apps for ~8 years now.
