Founder — Wanas Apps
Mostafa Wanas
I build software that reflects how businesses actually work — not how vendors assume they do.
Mostafa Wanas is the founder and managing director of Wanas Apps, a Zoho Premium Partner serving the UAE, Egypt, and the wider MENA region. He has been writing software since 1998 — 25+ years — and has founded four companies across manufacturing, advertising, and enterprise technology.

Writing
- Why I Still Write CodeI started in 1998 on a borrowed machine in Cairo. Twenty-five years later I still open the editor most days, and it is not nostalgia.
- Operations FirstMost software fails because it encodes assumptions the business never made. The fix is to start from operations, not from the product catalogue.
- Arab Businesses Deserve Enterprise SoftwareThe gap is not budget or talent. It is that most enterprise software is implemented by people who have never run a business in this region.
