Since he cofounded ITWorx in 1994, Wael Amin has been responsible for steering the company through its remarkable growth and transformation into a regional software powerhouse.

Even before graduating top of his undergraduate class from the American University in Cairo, Wael's entrepreneurial drive was in high gear as he cofounded software firm MicroLabs.

They say experience is the best teacher, and by the time he cofounded ITWorx, Wael was a seasoned veteran, having worked in the development trenches of both Microlabs and Pie Practical Solutions. More than a software engineer, Wael was now a leader who led by example, and who knew the value of a productive and motivated creative team.

Once at ITWorx, he quickly went to work creating a one-of-a-kind environment for software engineers with plenty of flex time, recreation areas and the occasional food fight.

Wael is a frequent lecturer on Managing Professional Services and is a founding member of the Software Engineering Competence Center in Cairo. He is fluent in English, French, Spanish and Arabic
