About Ahmed Korayem

Investment and Portfolio Manager at McKinsey, University of London

Hi, I’m Ahmed, and I bring years of experience at the intersection of strategy, venture capital, and innovation. I’ve worked with top-tier consulting firms like McKinsey & Company, corporate venture capital, and startups across multiple industries, including agri-tech, health, and energy. I’ve lived the founder’s journey—through both failures and successes—and I’m passionate about building something massive that improves quality of life.

I thrive on working cross-functionally with diverse stakeholders, balancing the needs of founders, investors, and corporate partners. I’ve mentored early-stage founders, supported emerging ventures, and helped organizations unlock new growth opportunities.

I can help you with:
