Faheem Ahamed

Faheem Ahamed is Group Chief Marketing & Communications Officer and an Executive Committee member at G42, the UAE's global AI and technology group. With nearly three decades of experience spanning strategic communications, brand building, geopolitical advisory and social-impact innovation, he has built his career around translating complex ambition into trust, influence and meaningful progress.  At G42, Faheem shapes the Group's global positioning at the intersection of artificial intelligence, national ambition and human advancement. He has led the narrative around some of G42's most consequential international initiatives and partnerships, while establishing its presence across platforms including the World Economic Forum, UN General Assembly, World Government Summit and COP28. His work increasingly explores how AI can become a widely accessible super-utility—strengthening sovereignty, resilience and opportunity while remaining grounded in responsibility, cultural relevance and public trust.  Earlier in his career, Faheem founded two communications ventures and held leadership roles across BPG Group/WPP and Lapis, part of Moby Group. He has advised global brands, governments and foundations; helped launch VICE Arabia; and led public-interest programmes addressing challenges including polio eradication, irregular migration and social change.  Faheem is Vice Chair of The Marketing Society Abu Dhabi and contributes to international boards, policy forums and industry dialogues. Across every role, his ambition remains consistent: to use communications and technology not simply to shape perception, but to help shape a more intelligent, equitable and humane future.
