Majed Al-Hamdan: The Strategic Voice Behind Saudi Arabia’s Modern Narrative

In every era of transformation, there are leaders who serve as the voice, the strategist, and the unifying force behind the scenes. Majed A. Al-Hamdan is one such figure. With a career spanning over two decades across some of Saudi Arabia’s most vital sectors—including banking, telecom, manufacturing, and government—Majed has become one of the Kingdom’s most influential communication leaders, shaping how stories are told and how brands are built.

From the Ground Up: A Career Built on Purpose

Majed’s professional journey began in HR and media communications, with early experiences at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Saudi Fransi Capital. But what sets him apart is not just where he started—it's how he continually reinvented himself.

Over the years, he moved fluidly between the private and public sectors, proving his versatility in roles such as Marketing & PR Manager at Midad Media, Business Development at Deloitte and Ingeus, and HR Communications at Mobily. His cross-sector experience gave him a deep understanding of internal culture, stakeholder engagement, and what it truly means to build trust with an audience.

Master of Strategic Communication

As Head of Marketing & Communications at Saudi Mechanical Industries, Majed didn’t just execute campaigns—he built the department from scratch. He laid the foundations, created operational systems, and worked side-by-side with the CEO and board to align communication with business transformation.

His ability to build teams and departments became his trademark. At SDAIA (Saudi Data & AI Authority), Majed rose to become Acting CMO, then Deputy CMO, and later General Manager of Marketing and Branding—leading national narratives at a time when data and artificial intelligence were becoming cornerstones of Vision 2030.

Now, as General Manager of Corporate Communication at the Ministry of Tourism, Majed plays a pivotal role in telling Saudi Arabia’s tourism story to the world. From positioning the Kingdom as a global destination to building internal alignment across public and private stakeholders, his leadership is shaping how the world sees the future of travel in Saudi Arabia.

A Storyteller with Vision

Majed isn’t just a marketer. He’s a storyteller. A translator of strategy into emotion. A bridge between policy and people.

He believes that communication isn’t about noise—it’s about resonance. That the best messages are not the loudest, but the clearest. He emphasizes timing, tone, and targeting. Whether he's engaging investors, government officials, or the Saudi public, he knows that every word matters.

His bilingual fluency, cultural depth, and ability to communicate across borders and sectors make him a rare and valuable asset in today’s globalized narrative economy.

A Role Model for the Next Generation

With a degree in Communication and Media Studies from King Saud University, and extended learning at George Mason University, Majed serves as a role model for Saudi youth interested in marketing, strategy, and national service. His career is proof that success isn’t about staying in one lane—it’s about mastering the entire road.

At a time when Saudi Arabia is transforming at an unprecedented pace, leaders like Majed Al-Hamdan remind us that behind every great vision, there’s a voice powerful enough to carry it—and wise enough to shape it.
