Born in April 5th, 1991, Abdelrahman Ayman is a Cairo University graduate who used to study in the Faculty of Pharmacy and used to work as a clinical research specialist at the 57357 children cancer hospital for over two years which he later left to focus on AIESEC.
He joined AIESEC Cairo University which he later became the president of in 2012, then went on to join the AIESEC Egypt committee in 2014. Abdo then applied to become the president of AIESEC Egypt which he lost to Yehya Al Mandarawy back in July 2014. But that didn’t stop him as he applied for it again to get it the next year. Oh, and there’s more. Abdo applied for AIESEC International in Rotterdam, The Netherlands becoming the director of the Middle East and Africa, then went on against Ankith Abraham, the president of AIESEC India, for the role of president of AIESEC International 2017-2018 which he snatched less than 24 hours ago.
