Meet Liaison Amr Kotb

kotb’s first Name is pronounced “AH-mur” (rhymes with calmer). he says his last name “truly is pronounced as it's spelled.”

Amr Kotb is a Ward 2 liaison with the Mayor’s Office of Community Relations and Services. Kotb joined the office in January 2019 and comes to public service after working for several years in Middle East policy, most recently as the advocacy director for an NGO called the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy.
