Khaled Hassan Azazy started his career in the education field by supporting the family business, which at the time was headed by the late Dr Hassan Azazy (1934-2008). In 2008, Khaled Azazy became the Chairman of the Azazy Group.
Background:
He led the setting up of Future University, Egypt (FUE) infrastructure and its board of trustees and advisors. Under his leadership, FUE has increased its capacity, has introduced a quality management system and has contributed to internationalizing higher education in Egypt through agreements made between FUE and UK and US universities.
Mr Azazy then turned his attention to the K-12 sector in Egypt. He sustained the Azazy Group’s mission to provide quality education at cost only. He also paid particular attention to technical and vocational education by linking up the Azazy Group’s technical and vocational institutes to industry and creating employment opportunities for students of these institutes.
Recently, Mr. Azazy launched Malvern College Egypt – the first top British school to open an international branch in the MENA region. The vision is to offer top quality education which has British roots and addresses Egyptian and Arab history and culture.
Throughout his work, Mr. Azazy has demonstrated a firm belief in corporate social responsibility through assigning certain activities of the Azazy Group to assist the socio-economically disadvantaged. This is clearly evidenced in work carried out by FUE Pharmaceutical Factory, FUE Educational Dental Hospital, and the Hayah Foundation for Sustainable Development. The work of these institutions has led to a positive impact on its recipients.
