Position:

I did not feel like I could amount to anything.

As the sole provider for his family, Kirollos has been working since he was in high school in everything from electronics to sanitation. Holding a diploma in commerce in a country that prizes a university education, there was one thing Kirollos was sure to encounter in every job – a glass ceiling.

Despite his reluctance to apply and a certainty that he would be rejected, Kirollos was accepted to EFE|Egypt’s Job Placement Training Program.

After graduation, Kirollos was selected by Souq.com - Egypt ’s leading eCommerce website - as a content associate. After only two months on the job, Souq.com Egypt General Manager Omar Sodoudi believes “Kirollos has revolutionized the way Souq.com does content” - and he doesn’t plan on stopping. With no end to his ambition in sight ...

... Kirollos has successfully shattered the glass ceiling.

grow - you can.”
