Speaking to us this week is Ahmed Khalil (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/ahmed-k-348b7026\/?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a>), CEO of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rayacorp.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Raya Holding for Financial Investments<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My name is Ahmed Khalil and I am the CEO of Raya Holding, a home-grown global<\/strong><strong>investment conglomerate. <\/strong>Raya started out as a merger between IT and distribution companies and transformed over time into an investment company. We have started to grow our footprint outside of Egypt and currently operate in over seven countries, including Nigeria, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Poland. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Our edge is our regional presence:<\/strong> Raya\u2019s focus is on creating value for its shareholdersthrough the expertise, resources, and network we have in Egypt and the wider region. We think that having an actual footprint in the region \u2014 via our management and senior teams on the ground \u2014 gives us a competitive advantage in the market. It provides us with the ability to create value that many other organizations don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What lies ahead? <\/strong>I am on a journey to transform Raya into an investment company. Rayastarted out more along the lines of a conglomerate business model that was investing in different industries and growing outside of Egypt. Now we want to turn it into an investment vehicle where we run our portfolio by returns and exits.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I joined Raya in <\/strong><strong>2012 <\/strong><strong>after finishing my masters degree<\/strong> and took over from my father as thegroup\u2019s CEO four years ago. My role is basically to oversee the overall growth and strategy of our portfolio companies, solving deadlocks, and making sure that our governance is up to date with the challenges. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My day starts around 7am when I have breakfast and go over my to do list for the day. <\/strong>Forthe first two hours of my day I like to reflect, prepare for meetings, read my emails and of course EnterpriseAM. I\u2019m at my desk in the office by 9am, and depending on the week I either meet with CEOs from our portfolio companies or with the management team. It tends to be a mixture of formal and informal meetings depending on the week and the time of year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>With the electricity cuts in Egypt I have found it almost impossible to work remotely, so I<\/strong><strong>much prefer to work in the office.<\/strong> I work almost every day of the week to match the Western working schedule. Westerns like to schedule their calls on the last day of their week, which is a Friday. On Saturdays, I have more time for myself to prepare for the week ahead.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Evenings are for family and exercise. <\/strong>I have dinner around 6:30pm with my family beforeputting the kids to sleep, then between 10-11pm I exercise \u2014 except on Tuesdays when I take the day off to socialize with friends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>At this stage in my life, work is taking up a bigger chunk of my day-to-day life, <\/strong>but I havecertain rituals throughout the year that break my routine. In August, I work remotely from the North Coast and I spend Christmas with my family abroad. I also try to take at least one ski trip a year with friends. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There are three constants in my day:<\/strong> The first is nutrition \u2014 ever since I hit my 40s I havereally started to take care of my protein intake. Second is my daily exercise and third is having dinner with my kids every evening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I\u2019m trying to navigate my forties <\/strong>and making sure that I enjoy the journey and push myself todo new things whenever I can.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>My recommendations: <\/strong>I\u2019m currently listening to an audiobook called <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/123857637-never-split-the-difference\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Never Split the Difference:<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/123857637-never-split-the-difference\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/123857637-never-split-the-difference\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Negotiating as if Your Life Depended on It<\/a> by Chris Voss, a former FBI hostage negotiator.
