Robert Gaby Email and Phone Number
Accomplished COO and Creative Director with over 20 years of experience in media, advertising, and marketing. Successfully established and led both online and offline Design/Editorial departments, a publishing company, as well as a boutique advertising agency. Expertise includes managing diverse, cross-functional teams across editorial, design, production, distribution, marketing, and sales in diverse countries within the GCC and MENA regions, with a demonstrated track record in leadership, team building, and strategic problem-solving.Leadership has been pivotal in forging profitable partnerships with leading international advertising agencies and global brands, including Huawei, Samsung, and Jaguar. These collaborations have contributed to a significant increase in annual revenues, exceeding 30%.As a Communication expert, my role extended beyond the media team to encompass journalism, communications, and public relations. I meticulously conceptualized & orchestrated targeted compelling advertising campaigns across the MENA region through multimedia platforms including television, radio, print, and digital media. Additionally, I established a joint project with MTV through a barter agreement to produce a dedicated weekly regional technology show aimed at promoting our main tech publication, T3 Middle East.Alongside my professional journey in media, advertising, and marketing, I find profound purpose in humanitarian action and my role as a nature enthusiast and advocate for environmental sustainability. My involvement has extended to co-founding and serving on the board of a CO2 capture service company, and a dynamic glass recycling atelier, both of which are dedicated to making a positive environmental impact.Furthering this commitment, I am currently establishing Blue Méditerranée: a Community Environmental Solutions Initiative enterprise through the Berytech Sustainable Development Acceleration Program. This enterprise focuses on critical issues such as waste management, food security, the reintroduction of endangered bio-marine species, combating air, land, and marine pollution, and improving marine water quality. It plays a key role in nurturing the bio-marine micro-ecosystem.Additionally, these efforts contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage, the promotion of ecotourism, and the enhancement of community welfare and inclusivity. It's a privilege to be part of these initiatives, which align closely with my personal values and dedication to our planet's future.

The project encompasses a land and marine educational and research farm situated in a protected zone. Operating within a circular system, it efficiently produces high-quality organic plant and animal proteins (including seaweed, meadow seagrass, algae, five kinds of freshwater fish, sea urchins as part of a breeding and reintroduction program, chicken, and eggs) at affordable prices, utilizing organic waste as the primary source of feed, resulting in zero waste. Through seaweeds and meadow seagrass, the system doubles as a carbon capture platform.This initiative is complemented and reinforced by environmental and social educational reward programs designed for the rural communities where it will be implemented. These programs advocate for the ethical disposal of organic waste, the reintroduction and protection of endangered marine species, and the enhancement of seawater quality. The overarching goal is to restore marine coastal biodiversity and micro-ecosystems. Show less -
