Aramex ended the year with a strong cash balance of $209m. In October 2022, the company completed the pilot phase of its drone delivery programme in Oman. This was followed by the successful testing of its drone and roadside bot deliveries in the UAE, earlier this year. The logistics provider also acquired MyUS, a global technology-driven platform, strengthening its cross-border express business. 

A passionate advocate for startups, Ghandour has been the mind behind some of the region’s largest investment funds, such as MENA Venture Investments and Wamda MENA Ventures I. Wamda is recognised as one of the region’s leading venture capital investors in high-growth technology businesses. In addition, Ghandour’s non-profit Ruwwad initiative has been instrumental in helping disenfranchised communities through education, youth volunteerism and grassroots organising in Palestine, Jordan, Egypt and beyond.
