Khaled Hashem

Honeywell names new country president for Egypt

CAIRO, July 13, 2016

Honeywell, a Fortune 100 cyber industrial company, has announced the appointment of Khaled Hashem as its new country president for Egypt.

Hashem, an Egyptian national, will lead Honeywell’s local operations and will focus on driving growth strategies including localization, technology innovation and Honeywell Operating System Gold (HOS Gold), to create best practice enterprises that are continuously and rapidly developing better products and experiences for customers.

These strategies, combined with Honeywell’s leading product portfolio of hardware, software and services, will help to increase efficiency, productivity and growth in Egypt’s core industrial markets, including oil and gas, transportation, defence, aviation and infrastructure development and protection.

“Egypt is currently one of the most dynamic economies in the region with excellent growth potential. Egypt’s economy has continued to expand over the last few years, with the IMF forecasting GDP growth of roughly 4.4 per cent for 2016, so I am especially delighted to be joining Honeywell at such an important time in the company’s – and the country’s – development,” said Hashem.

“Honeywell is a global technology leader and has the right experience and product offering to support the growth ambitions of the Egyptian people, government and businesses. I look forward to playing my part in supporting the country’s journey to sit at the leading-edge of innovation in the Middle East.”

Hashem most recently held the position of country manager at GE Egypt, where he worked closely with the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company on some of the major power generation services projects across Egypt. He holds a bachelor’s degree in construction engineering from the American University in Cairo and also completed a master’s degree in business administration (MBA) at the same university. He is currently pursuing a doctorate degree from IE Business School in Spain.

“Honeywell is privileged to work with some of Egypt’s key government and private entities, helping them to deliver smarter, safer and more productive operations. Khaled will work to strengthen these existing partnerships, as well as create additional opportunities to bring our unique value proposition to new sectors. This is an exciting time for Honeywell in Egypt and as a committed partner to the country, we are focused on providing the best talent and technologies to support Egypt’s transformation,” said Norm Gilsdorf, president for Honeywell’s Middle East, Russia and Central Asia regions.  – TradeArabia News Service
