Who is Shreef?

I'm a Product Management Leader with approximately 15 years of experience in the tech industry. My journey began at 17 when I started working as a part-time software engineer. Over the years, I continued to expand my skill set and transitioned between several small and mid-sized companies.

At one point, I decided to launch my own startup. During a StartupWeekend event in Cairo, I met a group of like-minded individuals, and together we founded Eventtus, a web and mobile SaaS platform for managing events and conferences.

Years later, I got tired of living in Egypt and decided to move abroad. Amsterdam was my destination after I received an offer from Booking.com. I worked for Booking.com for 7 years. It was quite the experience. I worked on multiple products and had a chance to learn how to build products and services for millions of customers across the world.

I worked at Booking.com on improving the hotel booking experience by doing a lot of user research, and a lot of A/B testing. I also worked on building B2B2C products that captured demand from multiple marketing channels, like hotel meta-search engines (Google Hotel Ads, TripAdvisor, Trivago, Kayak..etc), and Airline websites. I also worked on improving the customer service experience and the efficiency of 7,000 customer service agents.

After Booking.com, I joined Ankorstore, a fast-growing European/French B2B marketplace, as a Group Product Manager. There, I built my team from scratch and focused on improving the ordering experience for the marketplace, overseeing everything from checkout to delivery.
