I'm Mohamed Sameer, a product manager based in Cairo. I build fintech, payments, and AI products, translating complex banking and regulatory requirements into clear, usable experiences that ship and create measurable value.
Over 14 years in technology, 4 of them in banking and fintech (payments, wallets, cards, and digital lending), I've led cross-functional teams through the full product lifecycle, from discovery to delivery, including mobile apps, customer portals, and API integrations. My work sits at the intersection of business and engineering: I'm as comfortable writing a BRD and shaping a roadmap as I am sitting with developers to make sure what gets built actually works.
Most products don't fail because the idea is bad; they fail because the requirements are unclear, priorities shift, and teams lose alignment.
My job is to remove that ambiguity and get from idea to scope to shipped product with focus and speed.
I work with founders, fintechs, and product teams who need senior product leadership, a fixed-scope deliverable or an ongoing engagement.
Outcome-based prioritization and release planning that aligns stakeholders around what matters.
Wallets, cards, digital lending, bill payment, merchant products, and integrations.

Funnel audits, instrumentation, and experiment backlogs that drive adoption and retention.
Available for large-budget projects and consulting across Egypt, MENA, and the GCC, and remotely worldwide. Start with a consultation or a fixed-scope package.

I worked with Mohamed as our PM on multiple projects, and things always went smoothly, largely because of his ability to understand different stakeholders and keep everyone aligned, no matter how different their perspectives. He's supportive without losing sight of the goal.
I worked with Mohamed as our product manager and truly enjoyed the collaboration. He's organized, proactive, and keeps projects moving. His clear communication and problem-solving mindset make him a strong asset to any team. I highly recommend him.

Essays in English and Arabic. I keep facts and figures distinct from my forward-looking views, and I clearly mark opinions as my perspective.
Why AI pricing is shifting away from flat SaaS toward layered, usage-based models, cheap access for adoption, subscriptions for power users, and metered pricing for agents, deep research, and video. AI may end up priced less like Netflix and more like electricity.
Perspective · opinionTwo MENA companies, the same era, opposite outcomes. A look at why focus, saying no to everything except the use case that works, has been a stronger predictor of fintech success in the region than access to capital.
Analysis · perspectiveAccount access rose from 27% of Egyptians in 2016 to 76.3% by mid-2025; InstaPay processed EGP 2.4 trillion in H1 2025. The data behind a payments transformation that gets a fraction of the attention it deserves.
