Executive Profile: Youssef Aitour, Co-Founder and Managing Director of i2 Development Ghana Ltd

EXECUTIVE PROFILE

After completing a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer and Communication Engineering from the American University of Beirut in 2009, Youssef Aitour commenced his career at Enigma Holding, where he acted as a Chief Operating Officer. During his tenure, Enigma Holding grew to become a highly influential company with operations in the Middle East and West Africa, and investments in a variety of sectors, from real estate development and contracting, to the food trading industry and hospitality, among others.

In 2016, while maintaining his Enigma Holding executive role, notably the oversight of the company’s investments and real estate developments, Youssef focused on the African market where he launched several successful ventures. Building on his experience of the African market, in 2021, he permanently relocated to Ghana and co-founded i2 Development with Nabil Al-Ahmad.

In his own statement at the Grand Launch of i2 Development’s flagship project Prestige on December 13, 2023, at Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City Accra, Youssef Aitour stated that he recolated to Ghana in 2021, shortly after the Beirut blast that hit the capital of his home country, Lebanon. Relocating to a new country wasn’t an easy step. However, what made it way easier was the welcoming attitude of his Ghanaian brothers and sisters who immediately made him feel at home.

He felt indebted to the Ghanaian society, for offering him a home. Consequently, upon co-founding i2 Development, the primary aim was to reciprocate to a society that had given him something invaluable. For him, the ultimate reward goes beyond the launch of prosperous ventures – it lies in witnessing the positive impacts that i2 Development’s projects are making in the regions where the company operates.

Prestige, i2 Development’s signature project, was anchored around Wonderland, a theme park that will offer a magical experience for children and their families. Investing in children’s happiness, in his opinion, boosted the return on investment, to way more than numbers. In addition, being within walking distance from Kotoka International Airport’s Terminal 3, i2 Development is proud that their project will contribute in enhancing the Airport’s skyline.
