Ahmed El-Shourbagy is an Egyptian-American entrepreneur and business-man living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In fact, I was with Ahmed when Instagram first came out. I selfishly took the name @Kareem but Ahmed had much grander aspirations when we took the name @DOGSOFINSTAGRAM which now boasts over 4.5 million followers. Being as smart as he is, Ahmed enlisted the help of his genius wife and business partner, Ashley, to grow the account into a social media powerhouse and spin-off an entirely new business called Lucy & Co. which is a direct-to-consumer brand for pet parents. AKA people who own pets.
