Alwaleed Alkeaid — CEO
I help Saudi and GCC sports organizations turn ambition into operating results. As an award-winning sports executive and strategist featured in Forbes, I build the systems that bridge the gap between Vision 2030’s goals and daily execution. My work focuses on constructing the "infrastructure of sport" from human capital and governance to commercial strategy and legacy planning. Global Recognition & Impact: - Thought Leadership: Ranked #7 Worldwide on Favikon (Sports & Fitness) and featured in top-tier media including Forbes. - Global Governance: Currently serving as Secretary General to establish a new international sports federation from zero, aligning 32 founding member nations under a unified legal and commercial framework. - Executive Network: Founder of the Saudi Sports Professionals Network (SSPN), connecting elite global talent (C-Suite, Sporting Directors) with the region's leading clubs and federations. - Experience: Over 15 years leading national federations, advising wellness initiatives, and designing governance structures for the post-privatization era. What I bring: A unique blend of macro-economic strategy and execution discipline. I don't just advise on "best practices" I tailor global frameworks specifically for the Saudi and GCC cultural context. If you lead a federation, club, or investment group and need to upgrade your strategy, structure, or senior talent, let’s talk. Specialties: Sports Business Strategy, Executive Search (SSPN), International Governance, Mega-Event Legacy, Investment & Partnerships.
