Run 10 — a milestone worth celebrating.
Ten cohorts ago, this journey began with a simple objective: to help bridge the gap between academic concepts and real-world practice in real estate valuation. Today, reaching Run 10 of the Real Estate Development & Finance Diploma at the Executive Education - AUC Onsi Sawiris School of Business feels like an important milestone.
Every cohort brings a different mix of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Run 10 was no exception. The discussions were insightful, the questions were challenging, and the exchange of ideas reminded me once again that some of the best learning happens when professionals with diverse experiences come together around a common goal.
Teaching the Real Estate Valuation module continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of my professional journey. Valuation is far more than numbers, models, and reports. It is about judgment, transparency, market understanding, and ultimately supporting better decisions within the built environment.
What makes these programs particularly valuable is seeing participants take classroom concepts and immediately relate them to their own organizations, projects, investments, and professional challenges. Those conversations often continue well beyond the classroom and become the foundation for lasting professional relationships.
Special thanks to our program director, Yasmin Khalil, MBA, our school director, Mohamed AbdelSalam, and the entire Executive Education team for their continued commitment to delivering a program that remains relevant to the market and valuable to its participants.
A special note of appreciation to Reem Abughazala for her dedication and support throughout the program, ensuring that everything runs smoothly behind the scenes—from coordination and communications to the many details that make the learning experience seamless.
To the participants of Run 10, thank you for your engagement, your questions, and your willingness to share your experiences. I look forward to seeing each of you apply these concepts in practice and contribute to the continued development of our profession.
And as one milestone concludes, we look forward to the next.
On to Run 11.
