Egypt Education Platform (EEP) is expanding its footprint in the Gulf region through its leadership team managing Spark Education Platform (SEP), which will run the newly acquired assets of Saudi Education Fund (SEF), a new USD 300mn fund by EFG Hermes.

Part of this new growth initiative entails EEP’s leadership team assuming regional responsibilities, including Ahmed Wahby, Group Chief Executive Officer, Middle East & Africa; Adel Badr, Group Chief Financial Officer, Middle East & Africa; David Pontich, Group Vice President Education, Middle East & Africa; and Amr Sherif, Group Marketing and Commercial Director, Middle East & Africa.

Since its establishment in 2018, EEP has demonstrated extraordinary growth, expanding 16-fold in five years. This exponential growth is a reflection of EEP’s commitment to operational excellence, strong leadership, a solid governance structure, and world-class education. This has solidified EEP’s position in the Egyptian market and enabled the replication of this successful model in the Gulf countries through SEP.

By building upon the success of its premium international and homegrown brands, EEP aims to benefit students and families across the region and further solidify its position as a leader in education.
