Printable Version For Once, Government Stepped UpBusiness legend Mohamed Mansour had been Minister of Transport for just 20 days when he suddenly found himself dealing with the greatest challenge of his career: the aftermath of a maritime disaster that claimed the lives of more than 1,000 Egyptians.
While previous governments have fumbled their responses to national disasters, Mansour is intent on getting it right.
Minister of Transportation Mohamed Lotfi Mansour was woken up early on the morning of Friday, February 3, to learn he was facing the aftermath of one of the worst maritime disasters in the nation’s history.
Mansour is tackling the situation with the same logic — and in the same calm and collected manner — that made him one of the most accomplished business strategists in the country, where the former president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt has presided over interests as diverse as Mansour Automotive (which owns the rights to Chevrolet and Opel cars and trucks in Egypt), Mantrac (his group’s heavy equipment division) and Calyon Bank Egypt, which just acquired Egyptian American Bank.
I have been put in many situations in my life that have required me to stand up to some very challenging circumstances,” Mansour says from his office at the ministry.
The recorder was sent to the United Kingdom for analysis, a process Mansour says may take up to two weeks.
Where do we go from here?Mansour knew that safety would be at the top of his agenda when he came to office, but he had no idea it would take on this kind of urgency.
Mansour is in his element when discussing the public-private partnerships that he hopes to initiate; many believe that this was the reason he was asked to take up the transportation portfolio in the first place.
