Hello, I'm

Ebthal Saeed

Export Regional Manager at INSUTECH

From Cairo to Mexico

I find new export clients, negotiate the contracts and stay with every shipment until it reaches the customer's warehouse. I work in Arabic, Spanish and English.

About

A Spanish degree that went into export

I studied Spanish language and literature at Ain Shams University. My first job used it right away: helping customers of a U.S. bank account, in Spanish and English.

Then I moved into export and learned it from the shipping side first, handling letters of credit and documents for Latin American customers at ACMA. At Wenzhou Lansheng I ran the full sales cycle for Europe and the Americas, trade fairs included.

Since September 2025 I've been Export Regional Manager at INSUTECH, in the construction sector. I'm based in Cairo, and I still teach Spanish online.
