His wealth is generational, tied to the construction and industrial conglomerate Orascom Group, founded by his late father, Onsi Sawiris (d. 2021), in 1950.

Sawiris holds a B.A. in Economics from the University of Chicago. His philosophical approach centers on long-term value investing, strategic acquisition, and vertical integration in the essential construction, chemicals, and consumer goods sectors.

• OCI N.V. (Executive Chairman): The core publicly traded asset, a global leader in nitrogen fertilizers and industrial chemicals (with a listing on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange - Euronext).

Nassef Sawiris's strategic leadership involved managing the divestment and reorganization of the Orascom Group assets after the death of his father and the turbulent Egyptian economy. His structural contribution is immense: orchestrating the spin-off and globalization of the chemical and fertilizer division into OCI N.V., positioning it as a major global player. His wealth is secured by the colossal, long-term, stable profitability of the global fertilizer, chemical, and construction sectors.

His public focus includes his large stake in Adidas and his Co-ownership of Aston Villa Football Club (Premier League), reflecting his diversification into global consumer and sports brands.
