Korayem Razik

It’s hard to pinpoint the exact moment when U-Grow founder Korayem Razik realized that something big was taking shape. After 20 years of successful business ventures across sectors such as solar energy, industry, marketing, and media, it was only natural for him to harness his creativity and diverse talents.

“Korayem’s diverse background makes him so interesting!”

Korayem is an Austrian with Egyptian roots, fluent in Arabic, English, and German. He spent most of his life between the United Arab Emirates and Austria. While many might view these contrasting cultures as a barrier, Korayem saw them as an opportunity to make a difference. With over 25 years of international coaching experience and leadership roles, including positions as Sales Director and CEO, Korayem designs his workshops and coaching sessions with a focus on authentic self-work and relationship dynamics. Through the creation of platforms like U-Grow, U-Livewell, U-Retreat, U-Dance, and U-Dating, he demonstrates a holistic approach to personal growth and relationship development, seamlessly blending his expertise in business management with his passion for holistic living.

Korayem’s journey is as fascinating as it is inspiring. Growing up in Egypt, he displayed intelligence and ambition, attending the German School in Cairo. After completing his engineering degree, he stepped out of his comfort zone and pursued a master’s degree in Europe, driven by a scholarship and with only 500 euros in his bank account. Despite early successes, he faced challenges in navigating cultural differences and workplace stress, which ultimately led to burnout in Europe in his early twenties. However, rather than succumbing to conventional solutions, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and integration, realizing the importance of balanced living and an open approach. Through extensive research, coaching, and personal development, he not only overcame burnout but also became a Sales Director and CEO of international companies. Additionally, he honed his expertise in holistic coaching, earning numerous certifications in various fields of business, personal growth, and relationship dynamics.

Today, Korayem stands as a beacon of diversity, resilience, and mindfulness, guiding others on the path to holistic well-being and cultural integration through his coaching and consulting company. His vision extends beyond individual transformation, aiming to create a world that is resilient, mindful, conscious, and healthy—a testament to his unwavering commitment to personal and collective growth. This is why he dedicates himself to the development of all these U-solutions: U-Grow, U-Livewell, U-Retreat, U-Dance, and U-Dating.

IMPRESSIONS

Leader in Multicultural Business

While studying in his first university in Egypt, Korayem was already working with teams at big-name companies like General Electric and BMW. Then, with his first degree in Engineering and Communications Technology, Korayem set out to make his own waves in the Media and Marketing fields. Korayem continued on to Germany to get his MBA in International Marketing. Armed with a freshly earned MBA and a degree in Engineering, as well as nearly 10 years’ of professional experience, Korayem’s talent in Sales and Negotiation was quickly recognized. He was snatched up by various companies between Europe and the Middle East to manage their growth through sales. He soon became the Managing Director and Sales Director in the alternative energy and industrial automation sector. But, true to Korayem’s passion for growth, he also got himself a seat on the board of the prestigious Austrian business council in the Middle East. Perhaps most impressive, though, and no doubt a memorable experience, was when Korayem joined the president of Austria in his trade commissions in the Middle East. After all of that, it comes as no surprise that Korayem Razik is currently authoring a book on leadership and change.

“It takes a strong leader with an even stronger mentality to help others in their own success.”
