Sherif Ismail Mohamed (Arabic: شريف إسماعيل  pronounced [ʃɪˈɾiːf esmæˈʕiːl]; born 6 July 1955)[1] is an Egyptian engineer who served as Prime Minister of Egypt between 2015 and 2018. Previously he was minister of petroleum and mineral resources from 2013 to 2015.

Career[]

Ismail studied mechanical engineering at Ain Shams University and graduated in 1978.[2] He has held managerial posts at state-run petrochemical and natural gas firms. He served as the executive deputy chairman and then chairman of the Egyptian holding company for petrochemicals (ECHEM), which was established in 2002.[3][4] Next he was named chairman of the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS).[5]

Then he worked as the managing director of the state-run oil holding company, Ganoub El Wadi Petroleum Holding Company (GANOPE).[6] and became chairman of the company.[7] He was appointed as Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources on 16 July 2013 as part of the interim cabinet led by Hazem Al Beblawi.[8] He replaced Sherif Hassan Haddara in the post.[9]

Ismail was appointed as prime minister on 12 September 2015.[10] On 5 June 2018 Ismail submitted his letter of resignation to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.[11] However, he still remained Prime Minister in caretaker capacity.[12] Two days after Ismail submitted his letter, Sisi appointed Moustafa Madbouly, minister of housing and urban utilities, to succeed him as prime minister.[13]

Following his departure as prime minister, it was reported on 9 June 2018 that Ismail had been nominated to serve as the top aide to Sisi.[13]
