Fawry was fintech before “fintech” was even a word: Fawry founder and CEO Ashraf Sabry is our guest on this week’s episode of Making It, our podcast on how to build a great business here in Egypt. Ashraf tells us how the ultimate “corporate insider” left behind his corner office to start a startup in a field nobody had ever heard of — and how he escaped the jaws of bankruptcy. Today, the company is Egypt’s first listed fintech company as is valued at north of USD 1 bn — and it’s turned itself into a household name in the process.
