Amr Shady

Co-founder & CEO at Accord Partners: Amr is building a global, AI-enabled roll-up of audit firms starting in Saudi Arabia. Accord’s strategy acquires fragmented service providers and standardizes processes on Accord OS, using Egypt-based delivery and automated AI workflows to scale operations and margins; the company was co-founded with Karim Sobh (CTO). The playbook is gaining traction with U.S.-backed startups and investors, and Accord is raising $4M to ship the core platform and close its first acquisition — building on Amr’s prior success raising $180M for Tribal Credit. tatelecom+2
