Egyptian of the week
Kareem Amin
Kareem Amin stands among the Egyptian entrepreneurs shaping how artificial intelligence is applied in the global economy. As co-founder and CEO of Clay, he leads a New York technology company building tools that help businesses understand their markets, find customers, and turn growth ideas into action. His influence sits at a crucial intersection of data, automation, and AI: not in creating another chatbot, but in changing the operating systems behind modern business growth.
Originally from Egypt, Amin moved to Canada to study at McGill University, graduating in electrical engineering while also pursuing a strong interest in physics. That technical foundation led him to Microsoft in Seattle, where he worked as a program manager. He later moved to New York and co-founded Frame, an e-commerce technology startup, with Nicolae Rusan. Frame was acquired by Sailthru in 2012, giving Amin early experience in building a company, adapting its direction, and carrying a product through acquisition.
