Egypt has made efforts in recent years to liberalize trade, but non-tariff barriers continue to impose high costs on Egypt\u2019s export partners and present problems for domestic importers. Improving the transparency of customs rules, working on intellectual property rights and ensuring high-quality exports (especially agricultural products) are all areas Egypt needs to work on if it wants to secure a trade agreement with the US, according to the official. Talks for a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2017\/12\/06\/cairo-hosts-third-round-of-talks-over-tifa-yesterday\/\">Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA)<\/a> have been going on for years with little sign of progress, the official said, adding that the next round of discussion is set to take place on Tuesday, 9 April, in DC.<\/p>\n<p><b>Praise for economic reforms, but more action is needed: <\/b>While the State Department acknowledges Egypt\u2019s economic reform program is an important step, the official emphasized that the Madbouly government needs to do more to bring the workforce and manufacturing standards to levels that make it possible for them to engage with US businesses. The official also noted that Egypt has to work on reducing red tape, strengthening the rule of law and arbitration mechanisms, and implementing bankruptcy regulations.<\/p>\n<p><b>The US believes that Egypt showed \u201cleadership\u201d <\/b>by bringing together regional energy powers, including Israel, for<a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/01\/15\/east-med-gas-players-vow-to-establish-regional-market-choose-cairo-as-hq-for-new-organization\/\">the East Med Gas Forum<\/a>, which would have been politically challenging in the past.<\/p>\n<p><b>How are Egypt-US relations looking now? <\/b>\u201cEgypt remains a vital and strategic partner of the US,\u201d the official said. \u201cThere will always be differences, but we always work through things. The relationship is strong and cooperation never stops.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Any human rights criticisms?<\/b> The US is concerned with the defense of human rights and the success of Egypt, he said. It is interested in there being an open and transparent debate of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/02\/06\/houses-general-assembly-gives-nod-to-constitutional-amendments\/\">proposed constitutional amendments<\/a> and wants to see that dissenting voices aren\u2019t punished.<\/p>\n<p><b>Regional security, terrorism and the anniversary of the Egypt-Israel peace treaty<\/b> will all be on the agenda when President El Sisi meets Trump in Washington on 9 April.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/free-trade-agreement\/\">Free Trade Agreement<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/human-rights\/\">human rights<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/trade\/\">trade<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/us\/\">US<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"602743\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"602744\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"602744\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">EGYPT IN THE NEWS<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/04\/australian-citizens-release-tops-coverage-of-egypt-in-the-foreign-press\/\">\r\n                            Australian citizen\u2019s release tops coverage of Egypt in the foreign press                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/04\/australian-citizens-release-tops-coverage-of-egypt-in-the-foreign-press\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

I then proceed with my morning workout at the club \u2014 using my favorite running app <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nike.com\/eg\/en_gb\/c\/running\/nike-run-club\">NRC<\/a>, after which I head to work having pre-ordered breakfast to the office using my favourite food ordering app. My home, work and sports activities are all within the same neighborhood, so I easily move from one to the other on my Vespa to avoid Zamalek traffic.<\/p>\n<p><b>In general, my day will consist of people management, key client and stakeholder engagements, financials and strategic planning and capability building discussions.<\/b> I\u2019m also quite active in the startup ecosystem, both as an advisory board member in a variety of tech startups, as well as an active mentor for a number of VCs and organizations including Endeavor and Flat6labs, among others. When it comes to the day to day operations at Digital Republic, a day in the life of an advertising industry exec is relatively adhoc \u2014 dealing with a lot of curve balls that come at you throughout the day. Although I do try to allocate planned slots for myself, I also embrace the unpredictable nature of the day-to-day business. I like to equate it to driving in Cairo: If you try to drive in Cairo like you would in Switzerland, you\u2019ll probably crash. If you let go a little and go with the flow, somehow, miraculously, things do tend to effectively move forward.<\/p>\n<p><b>Apart from meticulously combing through Jamie Oliver\u2019s new book <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Jamie-Cooks-Italy-Oliver\/dp\/0718187733\"><b>Jamie Cooks Italy<\/b><\/a><b>, I recently enjoyed <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Radical-Candor-Kick-Ass-Without-Humanity\/dp\/1427283125\"><b>Radical Candor<\/b><\/a><b> by Kim Scott.<\/b> But I\u2019m more of an audiobook fan and lately I\u2019ve enjoyed listening to Stephen Hawking\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/A-Brief-History-of-Time\/dp\/B0000545OB\">A Brief History of Time<\/a> as well as rekindling a childhood favourite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gullivers-Travels\/dp\/B000VDNAE4\">Gulliver\u2019s Travels<\/a> \u2014 I highly recommend it, even for the over 40s.<\/p>\n<p><b>I also spend a lot of my time listening to podcasts<\/b> and have immensely enjoyed the true crime podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/serialpodcast.org\">Serial<\/a> and BBC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b08rmkcd\/episodes\/guide\">Our Man in the Middle East<\/a> by Jeremy Bowen. In terms of watching, other than a general addiction to true crime series (<a href=\"about:blank\">Making a Murderer<\/a>), I recently immersed myself again in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbcearth.com\/blueplanet2\/\">Blue Planet II<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b00mfl7n\">Frozen Planet<\/a>. Apart from the incredible footage, they really drive home how perilous our situation is regarding the environment, in particular with respect to plastics in our oceans and the melting of ice at the poles.<\/p>\n<p><b>Digital Republic started a decade ago initially as a tech start-up developing a mobile platform that rewards users for receiving mobile ads on their phone.<\/b> Suffice it to say that after a lot of investment, and heartache, it failed. But the silver lining was that it put us in the spotlight with several major advertisers who appreciated our innovation, so we pivoted and started developing the foundations of our digital advertising solutions for them. Our first to market advantage led us to quickly signing on some of the largest brands in the market, major brands that I\u2019m proud to say started their digital journey with us in Egypt. Two revolutions, a global financial crisis, two acquisitions and several awards later, I can safely say it\u2019s been quite a ride.<\/p>\n<p><b>What do people not understand about our business?<\/b> The digital ad industry in Egypt is currently going through a phase where a brand \u201cgoing digital\u201d entails producing a TVC and putting it on Facebook or YouTube. This is a misunderstanding of what being a digitally enabled brand entails. In today\u2019s digital economy, it is no longer just about advertising, it\u2019s about creating experiences. In other words, it\u2019s about transforming the way the consumer interacts and engages with a brand or product through experience-led solutions on digital platforms.<\/p>\n<p><b>One force that will create the most change in our industry is data and data privacy.<\/b> We\u2019re all familiar with the data privacy breaches and misinformation campaigns that have plagued the major online platforms and arguably have had significant influence on our lives. Data is a double edged-sword. How this plays out in terms of control and regulation will have a significant impact on the internet in general, the digital advertising industry and consequently on how brands engage consumers online. Artificial intelligence also plays a key role in this and will continue to significantly shape the industry going forward.<\/p>\n<p><b>What\u2019s next for me after Digital Republic?<\/b> Even though I\u2019ve been finding myself tempted to jump into opportunities that have come my way recently, I\u2019m being consciously mindful to not fall into anything too soon after having been so closely tied to something for the past 10 years. I want to avoid taking any rash decisions, so I plan to take some time off to allow for new inspiration and give time for my next move to \u2018percolate\u2019 nicely in my mind.<\/p>\n<p><b>Having said that, I will continue to engage in the start-up ecosystem<\/b>, supporting venture capital and private equity firms with some of their investments and will continue participating on the boards of the various start-ups that I\u2019m involved with, as well as the mentorship networks I work with.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, as a big planetary science and cosmology enthusiast, <b>I\u2019ll continue working on an initiative that is particularly close to my heart: the \u201cMake Space Yours\u201d program<\/b> (with Omar Samra). A one of its kind initiative that aims to encourage the next generation of Egyptian youth to get involved with and be inspired by space. You\u2019d be surprised how much curiosity children have for the cosmos.<\/p>\n<p><b>In my time off<\/b> I love to keep fit, spend time with my family, travel, and I enjoy playing tennis, scuba diving, and sailing.<\/p>\n<p><b>The best piece of business advice I\u2019ve ever been given was on decision making<\/b> that I got from my first boss at Maersk in Denmark many moons ago: Your instinct is the best decision maker. When stuck, do what\u2019s \u2018right\u2019 in your gut, even if the reward isn\u2019t immediately evident. You will be rewarded in good time.<\/p>\n<p><b>I use a task management app called <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.getminimalist.com\"><b>Minimalist<\/b><\/a><b> to stay organized.<\/b> It\u2019s simple and great. I try to be deliberate and do one thing at a time with intention, rather than multitasking \u2014 although I am guilty of multitasking more often than I\u2019d like to. Attention management is key in today\u2019s digital jungle.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/my-morning-routine\/\">MY MORNING ROUTINE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"602760\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"602760\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">14<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">The Market Yesterday<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/04\/the-market-yesterday-443\/\">\r\n                            The Market Yesterday                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/04\/04\/the-market-yesterday-443\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
