Advises governments, sovereign institutions, and development partners across Africa and the Middle East on economic development, project preparation, investment origination, and large-scale sector transformation

Amina is a partner in McKinsey’s Cairo office. She advises governments, sovereign institutions, and development partners across Africa and the Middle East on economic development, project preparation, investment origination, and large-scale sector transformation.

She works at the intersection of public-sector priorities and private-sector participation, helping clients translate sector strategies into investable pipelines across energy, infrastructure, and industrial development. Her experience includes PPP screening, pre-investment structuring, and the design of implementation and financing pathways that support bankable projects and broader market creation.

Amina has led multi-country engagements on national transformation programs, infrastructure and energy strategies, sovereign investment agendas, and institutional transformation. She works closely with senior public-sector and institutional stakeholders on reforms and investment-enabling programs that unlock private participation and improve delivery.

Before joining McKinsey, Amina worked in both industry and government, including as a project manager at Renault and as a technical adviser to the Moroccan Minister of Energy and Mines.
