01 / ABOUT

When the options run out, that is where I start.

Commercial Director at MOPCO, working within a portfolio of more than USD 800M annually.

Works across urea, ammonia, AdBlue and Technical Grade Urea, combining market intelligence, pricing structures, netback analysis and disciplined execution.

When a market turns difficult and the usual answers stop working, eighteen years in fertilizer sales and trading are what the team leans on.

Every market has its own logic: how it prices, how it buys, who it trusts. Reading that correctly is where the work begins.

03 / EXPERIENCE

18 years spent learning the market.

What comes next is what I do with it. It`s not number on CV. It`s the reason a difficult market feels familiar instead of frightening.

2019 — Present

Commercial Director

MOPCO, Egypt

Commercial direction in global fertilizer trade, where judgement is measured in timing: when to hold a price, when to move a ton, when to open a new market.
2016 — 2018

Senior Sales & Marketing Executive

MOPCO, Egypt

The years of learning to price under pressure: international tenders, agreements across several markets, and a fallback route for every one of them.
2014 — 2016

Sales & Marketing Executive

MOPCO, Egypt

Selling fertilizers from first enquiry to final delivery, and learning that a good price means nothing if the cargo does not arrive as promised.
2012 — 2014

Market Research Head

MOPCO, Egypt

Learning to read the market before learning to move in it: prices, trade flows, and the gap between what the world produces and what it needs.
2008 — 2012

Sales Specialist

Nasr Petroleum Company, Egypt

Where the fundamentals were learned, in petroleum: how a price is built, how a contract holds, and why buyers come back.
04 / EXPERTISE
01

Global Commercial Leadership

Seeing the commercial picture end to end, from market read to the price that goes out.

02

Pricing & Formula Design

Each market and each moment calls for a different structure. The judgement is in knowing which one, and when. Index-linked, gas-indexed, netback and hybrid.

03

Multi-Market Placement

Where the ton goes is a two-part question: which market pays best now, and which one we cannot afford to leave.

04

Strategic Negotiation

The price is one line in the deal. Terms, tariffs, logistics and credit decide what it is actually worth.

05

Trade Compliance

Trade rules decide which markets stay open. Reading them early is part of the commercial job, not a formality.

06

Business Intelligence

Knowledge is only worth what it changes. The measure of good analysis is a better commercial decision, not a better report.

05 / CONTACT

The conversation
is usually more useful than the introduction.

For conversations about markets, pricing and where this industry is heading.
