In the dynamic world of sports marketing, one Egyptian stands out for his remarkable achievements and dedication to elevating not only his career but also the sports he is passionate about. Mohamed Hamdy Gad , a 44-year-old marketing expert and the Chairman of the Board of G Global Marketing and Business Management, has seamlessly transitioned from a corporate professional to a key figure in local and continental sports administration and marketing.

A graduate of Ain Shams College of Commerce, Gad’s 23-year career includes stints at renowned multinational companies such as Save the Children USA (a UN-affiliated organization), Vodafone Egypt, Pepsi Egypt, and Coca-Cola Egypt. However, it was his love for sports, particularly Taekwondo, that prompted him to shift his focus from corporate roles to the realm of sports marketing.
Gad’s journey in sports administration began with his appointment as a board member of the Egyptian Taekwondo Federation in 2012, a position he held until 2017. His dedication and impact on the sport did not go unnoticed, leading to his subsequent appointment as the Marketing Director of the African Taekwondo Union (AFTU). Expanding beyond Taekwondo, Gad assumed the role of Marketing Director for the Egyptian Modern Pentathlon Federation in 2018.
Mohamed Hamdy Gad’s wealth of experience in sports marketing has earned him the trust of various Arab, African, and Asian sports organizations. Currently serving as a marketing consultant in multiple countries, including the UAE, Tunisia, and Saudi Arabia, he also holds the position of Chairman of the Board of Dimond Time Saudi Investment Company, who aims to develop and nurture Arab sports, enabling them to host world-class sporting events.
Gad views marketing as revolving around four fundamental pillars; research and analysis, consultancy, planning, and creative activities. In addition to his marketing and business management roles, Gad organizes significant events and conferences for both Egyptian and International companies, reinforcing their relationships and social responsibility.
Gad’s innovative and modern marketing strategies have assisted numerous global companies in establishing a distinctive presence in the Arab and African markets. His unique approach has solidified his position as one of the leading marketing figures in the Arab world, contributing significantly to the growth and recognition of some sports in the region.
