Hi, I’m Ahmed Eraqi
The Journey of Leadership
Every journey begins with a spark.
For me, it started with a relentless curiosity about how things grow — how people, teams, and ideas turn into movements.
Over 24 years ago, I entered the tech world with one clear intention: to understand the mechanics of performance — what makes one company scale while another fades.
That obsession led me to build, launch, and grow multiple tech businesses across industries like Classifieds, E-Commerce, Online Food Ordering, Airlines, Digital health and Ride-Hailing.
What began as a sales role evolved into a career of creation — building teams, designing systems, and leading transformations that turned early-stage ideas into regional powerhouses.

The Leadership Philosophy
Leadership, to me is about clarity, connection, and conviction. I’m a force multiplier more thn a consultant. I partner with founders and CEOs to transform ambition into systems, and complexity into clarity.
My approach blends strategic precision with human insight:
- I unify teams through shared vision and emotional connection.
- I simplify what’s messy — operationally and mentally.
- I align people with purpose and performance.
Because great leaders don’t just manage — they multiply energy.
(001)
Clarity
Simplicity creates speed. I lead by bringing clarity to chaos — clear goals, clear systems, clear communication
(003)
Progress
Perfection slows, progress builds. I believe in constant forward motion — testing, learning, improving.
(002)
Ownership
Everyone leads something. Accountability is non-negotiable — when people own outcomes, performance follows.
(004)
Alignment
Strategy means nothing if teams move in different directions. I ensure every function, decision, and KPI connects to one shared mission.
