Ever wondered what your favourite Egyptian movie characters would look like on LinkedIn? Let's be honest, not all of them are CEO material, but they'd definitely stand out in the corporate jungle. Here's a peek at what their profiles might look like.
Salah Abu El Azm in El-Keif
Salah's position would be Chemical Innovator at Homemade Pharma Co. He would be a visionary in alternative drug production, specialised in formulating mind-altering substances in kitchen sinks, known for his persuasive skills and deep loyalty to his family, even when things go slightly illegal. He'd also be looking to pivot into the wellness industry.
El-Limby in 8 Gega
His position would be CEO of Street Smarts Inc. Limby wouldn't have a college degree, but he has a PhD in life. Whether it's bootlegging CDs, dealing with shady landlords, or escaping from trouble he started, he gets the job done.
Raya in Raya W Sakina
Raya's position would be Co-Founder at Infamous Sisters Ltd. Raya would be skilled in logistics, concealment, and client handling. Built a thriving underground business with a clear KPI: silence is golden. Not currently looking for new opportunities.
Zuzu in Khally Balak Min Zuzu
Multifaceted actress, singer, and heartbreak professional. Zuzu brings charisma, adaptability, and sparkle to every role, onstage or off. With a background in theatre, dance, and resisting social expectations, she thrives in high-pressure environments and is passionate about women's empowerment. Open to mentorship roles, but only if you're fabulous.
Yehia in Alexandria... Why?
His position would be an Aspiring Director and Full-Time Daydreamer. Yehia's profile is part cinephile's diary, part political manifesto. He's the guy who'll discuss Eisenstein over coffee and cast you in his semi-autobiographical indie film the next day. Passionate about changing the world, or at least about getting into film school.
Closing Thoughts
LinkedIn might be full of generic titles, but these characters would redefine what it means to be dynamic, a self-starter, and results-oriented, even if the result is a dramatic love triangle or a prison sentence. Who knows? Maybe next time you're job hunting, Raya will endorse your people management skills.
