In a September 2026 interview on the #ABtalks Business program, Yasseen Mansour, Chairman of Palm Hills Developments, discussed his career, personal values, and approach to business. He recounted selling his investments abroad and returning funds to Egypt during the 2011 revolution, describing it as a difficult decision that he believes was the right one. He also spoke about his family’s history of financial hardship, noting that his father went bankrupt twice, and reflected on his own priorities during challenging times, including ensuring his children completed their education. Mansour also shared his views on leadership and hiring, stating that he evaluates candidates by reviewing their work history and asking about their accomplishments and mistakes. He mentioned that he considers personality assessments, such as whether a candidate is a "Type Six" or "Type Seven," though he said he does not fully understand them. He discussed urban development in Egypt, noting that Cairo’s infrastructure was built for a smaller population and that the city’s expansion is limited to east and west, which influenced his decision to develop areas closer to Alexandria. He described success as making his mother proud rather than accumulating wealth, and expressed a desire to be remembered as a good, honest man who kept his word.
