Alex Bouri, The Man Behind the Business
If not for Alexander F Bouri, Seament would have never come to be. It is because of his ambition and creative thinking that Seament was formed, that the cement industry was turned around due to the new opportunities, and even that several countries were able to break through their cement shortage crises. Many of us wish that we could put our plans into action in such a way, and we should let his story inspire us. In fact, aside from his successes, he's an average guy like everyone else.
He's the oldest of eleven children and is Lebanese and Greek national. He attended the American University of Beirut with a degree in Business Administration, and at this time he was an avid athlete – he was even a member of the national volleyball team. Then, he moved to Nigeria to sell insurance as his first job, and this is where he began first trading cement working only with a $50,000 loan. This is where he began to earn his title as the "Cement King," which was given to him in the 1980's.
Later he married a British woman and together they now have five children: Vanda, Mark, Leila, Maurice, and Charlie Bouri. Now, he's still the chairman of Seament Holding, his immensely successful cement trading business that has been putting an end to the world shortage of cement one step at a time.
Now, he spends a lot of his time on his main hobby, agriculture – he grows most of his own food and knows much about growing various crops. He also enjoys playing chess and Scrabble with friends and family and even writes some poetry.
As you can see, Alex is just a typical man who had big dreams and put them into action – it should be inspiring to anyone looking to start their own business.
