Summary
Sam Emara is a founder and CEO with a decade of experience who transitioned from a high-achieving international banking career to building Foxy, a fast-growing AI startup that helps creators generate ultra-realistic social content in seconds. Previously one of HSBC’s youngest International Managers, he led global teams, managed $150M+ annual P&L, and steered multi-billion-dollar M&A—experience he now channels into product strategy and scaling a media-focused AI platform.
