Sir Mohammed Fathi Ahmed Ibrahim KCMG (Arabic: محمد إبراهيم; born 3 May 1946) is a Sudanese-British billionaire businessman.

He worked for several telecommunications companies, before founding Celtel, which, when sold, had over 24 million mobile phone subscribers in 14 African countries.

According to the Forbes 2011 Billionaire List,[3] Mo Ibrahim is worth $1.8 billion, making him the 692nd richest person in the world.

He was also selected for the TIME magazine's "Top 100" list in 2008 and was ranked first in the annual Powerlist of influential Black Britons.

[5][6] His family moved to Alexandria, Egypt, when he was young, and father Fathi was employed there by a cotton company, and his mother Aida was very keen that they all get a good education.

Celtel was largely financed by equity rather than international banks, which were averse to investment in Africa at the time.

[12] Mobile telephones have brought wide reaching economic and social benefits in Africa and Ibrahim was credited with "transforming a continent".

[4] Ibrahim is the funding chairman of Satya Capital Limited, a private investment firm primarily focused on Africa.

[24] Ibrahim contributes to the leadership and activities of numerous other organisations, including the B Team, Council on Foreign Relations, Commission on State Fragility, Global Alliance Foundation, ONE, Open Government Partnership, School of Transnational Governance at the European University Institute, the World Bank ID4D and the World Justice Project.

[37][38] In 1973, Ibrahim married Hania Morsi Fadl, an Alexandria University graduate from the year above him, whom he had known since childhood.
