Cairo 15 Dec 2024:
inDrive, the global mobility and urban services platform, has appointed Fady Soliman as their Country Lead for Egypt. inDrive is a market leader in Egypt, where they offer ride-hailing, intercity, freight, courier and other services. As Country Lead, Fady will oversee operations of the company in the market and connect all departments to facilitate inDrive growth.
In a short period of time, inDrive has become the leading service for urban travel in the MENA region, and in Egypt in particular. Today, Egypt is one of the top 5 largest markets for the company. In addition to business verticals, companies invest in social projects, sports promotion, development of children’s sports sections, etc. The need to find a strong regional leader arose due to the fact that Egypt has stopped being to be “one of the 46 countries of the company’s presence”, but has become a role model for markets with a similar mentality, transport features and growing population.
Fady says, “inDrive is more than just a global mobility platform. It’s a movement that champions fairness, transparency, and the power of choice. We believe in a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive, and we’re committed to using technology to create a more equitable and just society. As Country Lead, I will continue to uphold these core values and will strive to empower our users by providing them with the freedom to choose their own fares and services; as well as to support our driver-partners by offering them flexible work opportunities and fair compensation. I will also seek to drive innovation by constantly exploring new technologies and services to improve the user experience.”
Fady joins inDrive from the Jumia Group (NYSE:JMIA), where he was Head of Strategic Partnerships.
Prior to that, he served as Chief Operations Officer and Head of Business Development at Economic Co. Electric; Head of Growth at Aprcot Digital Marketing & Advisory; and VP of Strategy and Business Development for DARE’n’DEAL.
Fadi has a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications from the German University in Cairo.
