After Schlumberger, I Built a Billion-Dollar Company

<p>In this episode, we sit down with Sherif Foda, Chairman and CEO of NESR, to trace a career that took him from engineering in Egypt and the Red Sea to the highest levels of leadership at Schlumberger, and ultimately to building a publicly listed energy services company in the MENA region. Sherif reflects on nearly 25 years at SLB, the decision to leave at the height of his career, taking the risk to build something of his own, and the leadership principles that helped him scale along the way.The conversation goes beyond his career story into what it actually takes to lead: staying connected to the field, identifying talent, building teams around loyalty and meritocracy, pushing for diversity, and knowing when to take a career risk. Sherif also shares his perspective on AI and the next generation of engineers, the realities of work-life balance, and why long-term success ultimately comes down to balancing wealth, time, and health.</p><p><br></p><p>If this episode resonates with you, make sure to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE with someone who needs to hear it.Produced by Midnight Marketing - https://midnightmarketing.com/podcasts/Sponsored by Collide - https://collide.io/Massiel Diez - https://www.linkedin.com/in/massiel-diez-b0942a60/Find Sherif Here:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sherif-foda-483b431/Website: https://www.nesr.com/</p>
