THE TEAM BEHIND VALDA DEVELOPMENTS:
Mohamed Shehata, the Chairman of Valda Developments, graduated from October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA) with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science Engineering. He’s also the General Manager of Shehata Tires and has been the Vice Chairman of Shehata Group since 2006. He was also the General Manager of the Tire and Tech company, El Rowad company for imports, as well as the Vice Chairman of Green Valley Real Estate since 2013..

Ahmed El Dessouky is the Managing Director and Board Member. In 2015, Dessouky decided to start his own company to fill a void between clients and sales teams in the brokerage market. Through his previous experience in real estate, Dessouky became aware of the great incompatibility between the backgrounds of clients and the sales teams serving them.
He then went on to implement this in New Avenue by hiring a well educated sales team who are aligned with the clients and are able to provide them with the information and feedback they need.
After New Avenue’s success, he decided to build on its knowledge and Akoya Developments’ credibility and start Valda Developments.
For him, Valda Developments was offering what the market needs with their retails only project - something that is not currently available in the market - as they plan to become one of the most trusted developers in Egypt.
