Mayada Boulos, who left Cairo with only 300 euros to her name, recounts her remarkable journey in her book “De bonne famille.” Born into a wealthy Coptic family in Egypt, she experienced her father’s financial ruin, her move to France, and the challenges of racism and breast cancer.
Fifteen years after arriving in France, she was leading communications at Matignon before becoming CEO of Havas Paris. Her autobiography reflects on this path of resilience and ascent to the heart of power, according to France 24.
