Speaking to us this week is STT Managing Director Youssef El Tawil (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/youssef-eltawil-9a0943122\/\" style=\"\">LinkedIn<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Edited excerpts from our conversation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I\u2019m Youssef El Tawil, managing director of STT, a timber export house. <\/strong>We buy wholesale directly from Scandinavian and European sawmills and sell to construction and industrial buyers across the Middle East and North Africa. Our family business started in 1988, when my father founded El Tawil as a commercial agent \u2014 essentially representing sawmills to customers and taking a cut on the trade. In 2013, he founded STT as a full shift in our business model: we moved from being agents to being actual traders, buying directly from sawmills, holding our own stock, and selling straight to end customers. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I started working with my father in 2016 while still at university<\/strong>, spending summers in Sweden learning the trade from one of our suppliers, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/polkky.com\/\" style=\"\">Polkky<\/a>. I became fully employed in 2017 and officially took over STT in 2021.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt is our biggest market \u2014 it\u2019s one of the largest consumers of wood in the world, but it doesn\u2019t produce any locally. <\/strong>Our job is to bridge that gap and make raw material available for construction and industrial uses there, along with our other major markets \u2014 Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Palestine, and Morocco.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The most interesting fact about my industry is how strict the sustainability rules are, especially in Sweden and Finland. <\/strong>It isn\u2019t a passing trend; it\u2019s a way of life. When they cut down one tree, they\u2019re legally required to plant three. Seeing how carefully the forests are managed is easily my favorite part of the business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The biggest challenge right now is shipping.<\/strong> Because of the volatile events in the region, shipping rates and terms fluctuate daily. We\u2019ll wake up to sudden USD 300 fuel surcharges per container, or have prices double overnight under \u201cwar risk\u201d clauses for destinations like Jeddah. It makes long-term planning impossible \u2014 I have to price and evaluate transactions day by day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I wake up between 7-7:30am every day; if I don\u2019t wake up early, my entire day is ruined.<\/strong> I start with breakfast and a massive cup of coffee, then open the news, switching between CNN and Al Jazeera to catch up on what I missed while sleeping. After becoming a father, I\u2019ve adjusted my routine to spend an hour playing with my son before heading out. I\u2019m at my desk at 9am sharp. When I\u2019m in Sweden, which is at least three to four months of the year, I head in earlier and hit the office by 8am.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The constants in my day are coffee and praying at least once<\/strong><strong>, and then I strictly time-block my rest of the day. <\/strong>Between 9am and 12pm, it\u2019s entirely \u201csupplier time\u201d \u2014 I\u2019m on the phone with our vendors and sawmills in Sweden and Finland, checking stock levels, getting market updates, and preparing purchase offers. In our industry, the power lies entirely with the suppliers, so maintaining those relationships is critical. From 12pm until 5pm, I switch to the sales side \u2014 customer calls, meetings, and heavy documentation. I stay focused by being a pen-and-paper person; I\u2019m not someone who can think on the spot, so I have to organize my thinking beforehand. Every morning, I open a fresh page in my notebook, write the date, and outline everything in numbered bullet points.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Professionally, my next big leap is mastering delegation.<\/strong> I\u2019ve realized that a great leader shouldn\u2019t be afraid to hire people better than them. Right now I\u2019m stretched thin doing purchases, sales, and overseeing operations. My goal is to build an executive team \u2014 a dedicated operations manager and a sales manager \u2014 even if it means giving up equity or offering aggressive performance-linked structures. That would let me step out of the day-to-day and focus on the purchase side, where supplier relationships matter most.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>I don\u2019t believe work-life balance is as easy as people make it out to be.<\/strong> It depends entirely on your ambitions. Right now mine are big, so I\u2019m admittedly bad at balance and don\u2019t give my family as much time as I should. I\u2019m aiming for my 50s to be when I can finally turn off the motor, delegate heavily, and enjoy financial freedom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>When I do switch off, I\u2019ve become a total stay-at-home person. <\/strong>The older I get, the more I appreciate low-pressure environments. I want to sit at home with my family or hang out with a few close friends. To mentally unwind, I\u2019d highly recommend watching Matthew McConaughey\u2019s Oscar acceptance speech about chasing your future self \u2014 it\u2019s an incredible reminder of how to keep your priorities aligned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The best advice I\u2019ve ever received comes from two places.<\/strong> One is a proverb I keep as a permanent state of mind: \u201cThis too shall pass.\u201d It gets me through any crisis. The other is an old Arabic philosophy passed down by my father: \u201cDo good and throw it into the sea.\u201d It completely anchors how I treat people and how I conduct business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cEgypt is our biggest market \u2014 it\u2019s one of the largest consumers of wood in the world, but it doesn\u2019t produce any locally,\u201d El Tawil says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":707893,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7156],"tags":[72,387,132],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-707892","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-my-morning-routine","tag-enterpriseam","tag-my-morning-routine","tag-trade","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"753b39e3-eb48-4916-97b4-a5a284d9ab08","order":"13","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2026\/6\/280.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"My Morning Routine: Youssef El Tawil, managing director of Scandinavian Timber Trade","related_issue":[707870],"teaser":"\u201cEgypt is our biggest market \u2014 it\u2019s one of the largest consumers of wood in the world, but it doesn\u2019t produce any locally,\u201d El Tawil says."},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
