Naguib Onsi Sawiris

Naguib Sawiris
(Egyptens rikaste person)
Naguib Onsi Sawiris (15 June 1954) (also: Sawires, Arabic: نجيب ساويرس) is an Egyptian business pioneer who transformed his telecommunications company Orascom Telecom Holding (OTH) to become one of the leading telecom players in the world. He is currently the Executive Chairman of OTH, Executive Chairman of Wind Telecom (former Weather Investments) and Chairman of the board of Wind Telecomunicazioni SpA (in Italy). His outspoken, flamboyant and charismatic traits have made him an icon in the telecom field, among his 20,000 employees worldwide as well as a magnet for the media. However the vision and decisions that he made has certainly affirmed OTH’s position in the telecom world arena. He started the company with launching the first mobile operator in Egypt, Mobinil. He then went on expanding; currently OTH operates in 12 countries. His success at the beginning can be attributed to the boldness in his decisions, operating in high growth markets as well as having operated in regions that no other company dared to go. While OTH’s strategy was to target underpenetrated high population markets, now this strategy has changed as it started to pursue more developed markets with the latest launch of “Wind Mobile” in Canada in December 2009. He also made history in North Korea in 2008, by launching the first mobile operator there, “Koryolink”.
