She was formerly Business
Excellence Manager for 5 years and previously marketing professional in Nestle food Egypt and Kenya for 11 years. She is among the global ambassador’s for Mad World Summit this October, where workplace, mental health and wellbeing will be discussed.

The business woman in Nadine and her challenging career in marketing, have sharpened her innovation and insights, leading her to being a strong voice for change. Her experiences have

inspired her to help others reach their hindered goals and dreams.
Inspired by her late grandmother’s love for reading, she
developed an inquisitive mind, eager to discover and learn. This
later translated into a passion for writing poetry.

The 2011 Egyptian Revolution awoke Nadine’s passion for writing and her yearning to understand the circumstances which had unfolded. She is among many Egyptians who were inspired evident with the new wave of music, art, literature and entrepreneurship that came along after and is still in the making.

In her book, Tahrir Voices: 18 Ordinary Egyptians in 18
Extraordinary days, Nadine utilizes a unique story-telling
approach to share the accounts of 18 diverse Egyptians during
the 2011 Revolution. She captures the scenes

behind the 2011 Egyptian uprising by speaking to individuals at the heart of the revolution, each with varying experiences, often with opposing points of view, but united in wanting a better Egypt.

Nadine’s success as a writer lies not only in her ability to turn snapshot views of ordinary people’s lives into engaging prose, but also in the way she gets her subjects to open up to her, allowing her to share their stories, in the hope of Egyptians finding a common ground amongst varying points of view.
