Ramiz Mohy is the former Vice President of the BUE Student Union, the Co-Founder of EASE for Training & Education and most importantly our Honorable BUE Business Graduate. He has joined the BUE in 2009 from Al Farouk Islamic School with a consistently successful record. Also upon joining our university he was a member of the Egyptian National Taekwondo Team after being Egypt’s National Champion several times. He represented Egypt internationally and concluded his Taekwondo career by winning the Gold medal in the Manchester international open championship.

As for his college years, Ramiz graduated with an “Honors with Distinction” degree in Business Administration in 2013 with a thesis paper tackling Emotional Intelligence and Entrepreneurship and he was considered one of the top students ranked 2nd on his class. While at University, he was actively involved in student activities, particularly AIESEC Egypt, a global, not-for-profit organization run by university students and recent graduates.  It is intended to help young people find their leadership potential for the benefit of society.  From 2011 – 2013 he held senior appointments in AIESEC Egypt, and had international roles with AIESEC in Croatia, France and Mauritius.

In his final year at the BUE, he ran for the SU elections and was successfully elected as the Vice President of the University’s Student Union, which he found a great experience, being involved in the governance of his university. He considers his SU term as one of the most fruitful experiences in his University years and an opportunity that allowed him to give back to the BUE. Alongside with his high-board and SU team, they have created a strong SU that delivered their promise of providing a better student experience for all the BUE students and was considered one of the best Student unions in the BUE history.

Over the summer of 2012, he went to the south of the continent and visited the island of Mauritius with AIESEC to provide training for young people discovering his passion for knowledge, education and training. In December 2012, while still a student, he established EASE for Training & Education alongside his friends. EASE is a social enterprise that offers free training to help develop individuals and improve their lives and it’s still operating till present.

Ramiz has delivered soft skills sessions to students in many universities including Cairo University, AUC, GUC, CIC and BUE. The sessions were targeting many student activities such as MUN (Model of United Nations), ISLC (International Student Leadership Program), MOIC (Model of Islamic Council) and many others. He was not only invited to train student activities but he also delivered trainings to other entities such as Teenstuff magazine, Nola Cupcakes and Career Advancers. After Graduating in August 2013, he flew to Europe for 3 months attending AIESEC conferences and delivering trainings for young individuals in Austria, Croatia, France and Romania. Ramiz is currently employed with Vodafone Egypt having joined the firm through its Graduate Rotational Program, “Discover”. The Vodafone Discover Graduate Program aims to recruit talented fresh graduates and is targeted at those who have driven, ambition and ideas. It gives the successful candidates a challenging business exposure through job rotation, coaching and networking in order for them to reach their potential and make a tangible difference to the company. Accordingly, Ramiz has worked in 5 teams in his first year at Vodafone passing through Customer Care and Retailing to Reporting and Analysis and Corporate Sales, to Enterprise Marketing, working with the large segments team. After completing the Discover program, he started working as a Marketing Senior Specialist managing the High Value sector within the Vodafone SME Base. And after one year he decided to move to the Sales team to discover the other side of the commercial coin. So in his 3rd year at Vodafone, Ramiz has joined the Enterprise Sales team to manage Tier 1 Premium Key accounts to be one of the youngest account managers to handle the top tier in Vodafone entire Sales team. Apart from being one of the Vodafone employees selected to share their stories as a part of the Vodafone employer branding campaign, he was chosen to be the trainer for the 2014 Vodafone summer internship program, delivering soft skills sessions to equip young undergraduates with the needed skills to stand out in the professional market. And following the success of the program, he was re-invited for the next year delivering the 2015 summer training program as well.

His trainees regard Ramiz as being creative with good communication and interpersonal skills which enable him to deal with a wide range of people delivering the message effectively, and they believe his sessions “made them rethink many concepts and look at things from many perspectives”. Having left the BUE as a student in 2013, Ramiz still gets invited to several events in the University and in AIESEC as well. In 2016, He was selected as a facilitator for the International Train the Trainers Conference in Belgium. And in 2015, he was invited to host the Hult Prize Competition which is the world’s largest student competition for budding young social entrepreneurs emerging from the world’s universities. Also in 2015 he delivered a TED talk in TEDxBUE’s event “Empowerment” and his idea worth sharing was that “with enough belief and confidence in oneself, anyone can achieve what they want”.

Ramiz attributes a big part of his development to his BUE education which enables “the student to think and add his/her personal point of view”, thereby delivering its promise of educating “how to think not what to think”. He believes in the importance of good education for the prosperity of the individual and the nation, which shows in his graduation speech to his fellow colleagues when he stated that: ” Education is power, and as Spiderman says: with Great Power comes Great Responsibility!”
