Malak El Masry

My name is Malak El Masry and I was scribbling on walls since I was a child! So it was no surprise to my family that I ended up becoming an artist and creative thinker. I graduated University in 2010 from the British University in Egypt with a Business Administration degree focused on Marketing. I had a crazy career of ups and downs but full of adventure, between teaching, marketing and project/program management. I started working as a librarian in Modern English School Cairo and then I moved to the British University in Egypt and worked in the Marketing Department for 2 years.

After a fun learning experience at the BUE, I went on to an extremely cool job that allowed me to be both creative and use my skills working with students. At Google I was a Community Outreach Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa, working with students all across the region on the Google Student Ambassador Program for 2 years. After a enthralling experience being with Google, it was time to let go. I started working with Ahead of the Curve as a project manager on the Mobile Application Launchpad program, which is a program by Google and the Egyptian Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, focused on training 2000 developers in Egypt.

With all my crazy career turns one thing has been steady all along, my startup “Fantasiam” which I started in 2010 and have been actively working on ever since. Fantasiam is all about giving your walls character, by having them painted. We also offer other services like making customized paintings for your homes. I am on a roller coaster that keeps taking me to the best places and giving me the best opportunities and I can say that I am learning a lot, and believing in my dreams has made me achieve a lot. So I never stop dreaming and I always like to reach for the stars.
