Founder and CTO Ever Broadcast
The Most Inspiring Leader To Look For In 2025
He is truly inspirational, multitalented and multitaskingleadershippersonality.Thedepth and breadth of his technological knowledge, hisresilience,hardworkingandsmart-workingattitude arecommendable.
Moreover,hiscapabilityofremainingcalm,composed, and keeping his cool & patience even in the toughest circumstances is recognized by the industry when MuhammedRafeequeAlampadyandhisteamatEver Broadcast won accolades. These awards include the IBC Rising Star 2016, Middle East Transformation Award, and a Guinness World Record for the LongestUnderwaterRadioShow
ReflectingonMuhammed’sremarkablecontributionsto Expo 2020 Dubai, Mandy Keegan – Vice President of Expo 2020, shared, “It is with great pleasure that I provide this reference for Muhammed, who I have known and worked with for the last 27 months as part of theExpo2020DubaiMediaServicesteamthatIhadthe honourtoleadasVicePresident,MediaServices.
Muhammed’s role in the team was as the Technical Broadcast Manager for the extremely complex and challenging broadcast operation for Expo 2020 Dubai. His responsibilities spanned the lifecycle of the planning and delivery of the operation – from designing broadcast systems, to regularly troubleshooting issues, ensuring our Host Broadcaster was able to operate and assistingthevisitingbroadcasters.
The manner in which Muhammed undertook his work was excellent throughout. He has a brilliant analytical mind and problem-solving approach and he was an enormous asset to the team. His calm and positive attitude ensured he was trusted by broadcasters relying on him and the team to successfully deliver broadcast operationsthroughouttheworld.
For the duration of the six months of Expo, the Media Services team delivered an average of 20 hours of live broadcast and livestreaming per day. Without the talent and skills of Muhammed as part of the Broadcast Technicalteam,thiswouldnothavebeenpossible.”
Talal Al Murad, also praised him, “Muhammed’s multitasking ability is applause-worthy and helped Al Murad Group achieve our company ’ s technology transformation. I was impressed by Muhammed’s
capability to handle any situation calmly and patiently, even with the toughest clients. This natural skill of his has helped us overcome many challenges to achievement in our journey and the Guinness world record for longest underwater broadcast; virtualizing the entireAl Murad Group's Server infrastructure and AI&MLbased broadcast switching are some of them Muhammedearnsmyhighestrecommendation.”
Yet beyond the titles, recognitions, and recommendations, Muhammed’ true mission is clear: to create unforgettable broadcast and world event experiences that transcend time, powered by strategic thinking and transformativetechnology

A Vision Beyond Broadcast: From Engineer to Storyteller
While his nearly two decades of career has spanned multiple sectors engineering, media, hospitality, broadcasting,andrealestate—Muhammedhasalways been driven by one unshakable purpose: to connect
people through meaningful, visual, and transformative experiences That calling became the foundation for Ever Broadcast and Ever Events, two ventures born not just out of professional ambition but out of a deeper personal mission to build something enduring,creative,andpurpose-driven.
Muhammed’s professional journey, though far from linear, has gifted him a rare and valuable perspective—blending the logic of a technologist with the intuition of a storyteller. “My leadership style reflects that journey,” he says. “Empathetic, adaptable, and rooted in empowering others.” It's this blend of vision andvulnerabilitythatdefineshisroleasafounder—not asadistantexecutivebutasanever-presentforcewithin hisorganization.
At the helm of Ever Broadcast & Ever Events, Muhammedwearsmanyhats.Asavisionary,hescouts thefuture—trackingglobaltrends,experimentingwith emergingtechnologies,andshapingthenextfrontierof broadcast innovation As an anchor, he remains immersed in the every day overseeing creative concepts, refining execution pipelines, and staying deeply connected with clients and collaborators. This duality is what keeps his ventures both grounded and aheadofthecurve.
Yet, behind the success of Ever Events stands not just one mind but a shared leadership. Anaam Baig, Cofounder and CEO of Ever Events hasplayedapivotal role in carving the brand’s identity and market relevance. With her media background at Dubai TV and a sharpeyeforbrandingandmarketing,Anaamhasbeen instrumentalintranslatingcreativevisionintopowerful marketpositioning—ensuringthebrandspeaksnotjust totheeyesbuttotheheartofitsaudiences.

LeadingwithEmpathy,DeliveringwithPrecision
For Muhammed, leadershipis notaboutcommanding fromthetop—it’saboutcreatingspaceforbrillianceto emerge. Having led some of the most high-impact technical teams behind world-class events, from Expo 2020DubaitoCOP28UAE,hisapproachtoleadership isdefinedbyclarity,empowerment,andhumility.
“My first principle is simple: listen more than you speak,”heoftentellshisteam.
Muhammedknowsthatrealinnovationdoesn’talways come from the loudest voices or the biggest titles—it comes from an environment where everyone, from interns to experts, feels heard. He fosters this environmentbyencouragingopendialogue,recognizinghidden talent, and ensuring that every team member feels ownershipintheprocess.
His second leadership tenet is clarity and autonomy Hebelievesinsettingacleardirectionandpurpose—but never prescribes a rigid path. “Everyone should know where we’re going and why it matters,” he says. “But how do we get there? That’s where their creativity shines.” It’s a philosophy that builds not just capable employeesbutempoweredinnovators.
And above all, he leads by example. From pulling late nights on production floors to personally troubleshootinglast-minuteglitchesbeforeshowtime,Muhammed's hands-on presence is constant.Thatconsistency builds trust and sets the tone: at Ever Broadcast, excellence isn’tagoal—it’sagiven.

The Technology Whisperer: TurningAI and Cloud IntoExperiences
In a world where technology never stands still, Muhammeddoesn'tjustkeeppace—hesetsit.Known for his expertise across Robotics, Machine Learning, AI, and Cloud Infrastructure, Muhammed lives by oneunwaveringprinciple:learningisalifestyle.
He dedicates time each week to immerse himself in emerging tech, run experiments, and exchange ideas withexpertsfromaroundtheglobe.“I’vemadelearning a habit,” he shares. “Surrounding myself with brilliant minds—inside and outside Ever Broadcast—keeps me sharpandgrounded.”
But in a noisy age of tech hype and fleeting trends, Muhammed stays laser-focused. He doesn’t innovate forheadlines—heinnovatesforimpact Everysolution adopted at Ever Broadcast must enhance creativity, simplify processes, or deliver unforgettable user experiences.“That’swhererealtransformationlies,”he affirms. “Not in looking futuristic, but in being fundamentallyuseful.”
When Passion Meets Precision: Accolades That Matter
His deep-rooted philosophy and consistent excellence haven’tgoneunnoticed.AccoladesliketheIBCRising Star Award and a Guinness World Record have cemented his reputation on the global stage. Yet, for Muhammed, these milestones represent more than personal achievement they’re symbols of shared victoryandresponsibility
“Winning the IBC Rising Star felt like the industry saying, ‘We see you.’ Itwasvalidation—notjustforme, butfortheentirejourneythatbroughtushere.”
The Guinness World Record for the longest underwater radio show—was particularly memorable. It combined ingenuity, endurance, and flawless executionandbecameamomentofcollectivepridefor his team. “It proved what passion and precision can achievetogether,”herecallswithpride.
Theserecognitionshaveonlydeepenedhiscommitment to uplift others. “Being seen as a leader means being
accountable—not just for success, but for setting the tone, opening doors, and raising the bar for everyone aroundyou.”
Purpose-Driven Balance: The Personal Behind the Professional
Balancing the scale of ambition with personal wellbeing, however, hasn’t come easy. Years of pushing boundaries taught him a crucial lesson: burnout benefitsnoone
“I’ve become intentional about balance,” he shares. “Notperfection—butpresence.”

ReimaginingtheFuture:TheNext5YearsofMedia &Events
As the global media and events landscape undergoes tectonic shifts, Muhammed remains a visionary force not just observing the transformation but orchestratingit.
Thecomingyears,hepredicts,won’tjustredefinehow audiences engage they will reimagine what engagement even means. “We’re entering the age of immersive storytelling,”heexplains.“Where content is nolongerjustwatched—it’sexperienced.”
From AI-curated narratives to hybrid ecosystems and hyper-personalized event journeys, the media frontier is expanding.And Ever Broadcast is not just keepingup—it’sleadingthecharge.
WithstrategicinvestmentsinAI-poweredproduction pipelines, metaverse-ready broadcast layers, and real-time analytics, Muhammed is crafting an ecosystemwherecreativityanddataharmonize.Yet,he insists, the real revolution lies not in tools but in mindsets.
“Digital transformation isn’t just about tech—it’s about training our people to think boldly, digitally, and above all,humanely.”
Words to the Next Generation: Curiosity, Integrity, Resilience
This blend of technological foresight and emotional intelligencedefineshisleadership.
And when asked what advice he offers aspiring professionals, his response is both grounded and generous:
“Be curious. Start small. Fail early And lead with integrity In this industry, your reputation is your currency—builditwithcare.”
It's a message born not from theory but from lived experience. From humble beginnings to multi-milliondirhamglobalprojects,Muhammed’sjourneyhasbeen stitched with setbacks, breakthroughs, and tireless reinvention.
ALegacy of Empowerment: Building SystemsThat OutlasttheSelf
Looking forward, his vision for Ever Broadcast is as expansive as the stage he performs on. He doesn’t just want the company to be a regional powerhouse—he wants it to become a global synonym forinnovation, creativity,andmeaningfulimpact
Yet, in typical Muhammed fashion, his definition of legacydefiesego.It’snotaboutheadlinesoraccolades.
“Legacy,tome,isn’tabouthavingmynameinlights.It’s about building something that empowers others to shine.”

What the Greats Always Get Right
Leadership trends can be blown away by technology, globalization, and generational change, but some principles endure. The greatest leaders—regardless of time, industry, or organizational size are always returning to a universal set of habits and philosophies that amplify their influence, move people, and create lasting legacies. They are not faddish management methodologies. They are timeless truths that capture the essence of revolutionaryleadership.
Beitinboardroomsoronthebattlefield,fromstartupstothe world's great institutions, the greats have some unusual clarity, consistency, and character And even though their stylesdiffer,theirresultsarefrequentlysupportedbythesame playbook—one ridden with humility, discipline, and the abilitytobringoutthebestoutofothers.
PrincipleOverPopularity
Great leaders do not seek approval-they stand in principle. They make decisions not for fleeting applause, but for enduring consequence.This does not imply that they ignore their people. Not at all, they listen deeply, hear many perspectives, and build consensus where needed. But when the moment requires courage and decisiveness, even unpopular,theyact.
What sets such leaders apart is a feel for balance between empathyandaccountability Theydon'tseekvalidationfrom thecrowd,nordotheydecidepolicyonawhim.
Their moral compass is set by values, not vagaries Consistency generates confidence, especially during uncertaintimes.
VisionThatResonates

PeopleFirst,Always
One of the characteristics of leaders is a genuine belief in people.Thegreatsrecognizethatsuccessnevercomesabout because of one person. It's a question of teams—diverse, motivated,andempoweredtoperform.That'swhytheyinvest timenotmerelyonproductsorprocesses,butonpeople.
They're investing in up-and-comers. They create psychological safety.They listen, challenge, and encourage. And they celebrate ego-free when other people win.They're generous with praise and candid with feedback—because they know that leadership is not about being the smartest person in the room, but about unleashing potential in other people.
AdaptabilitywithIntegrity
The modern leadership landscape is characterized by disruption economic change, technological disruption, social revolution. Successful leaders are those who remain adaptablewithoutlosingtheircoreidentity Theyevolvetheir style, adopt new models, and remake assumptions—but remainanchoredinvalues.

In times of crisis, these leaders are future-focused, unflappable, and decisive. They don't pretend to be allknowing. Instead, they lead with transparency and determination,piercingthefogofdisruptionwithclarity.
Self-AwarenessasaStrength
Thebestleadersaredeeplyself-aware.Theyareawareoftheir strengths—and equally important, their blind spots. They surround themselves with others whose expertise is complementary to their own. They seek input. They are alwayslearnersoftheirtrade,nomatterwheretheyriseto.
This humility is not weakness—it's a leadership multiplier Humility generates trust, authenticity, and growth. Great leaders don't hide behind vulnerability; they view it as a connection point. They own up to mistakes, learn publicly, andleadbyexample.
Because they are secure about who they are, they don't fear others'success.Instead,theycreatespaceforotherstoshine.
ConsistencyinAction
It's not brilliance or charisma that makes stand-out leaders different—it'smostoftenconsistency.Theyshowupwhenit's tough. They follow through on their commitments. They maintainstandards,evenwhennooneislooking.

LegacyThroughOthers
The most important lesson history's greatest leaders have to offeristhis:Leadershipisnotaboutyou—it'saboutwhatyou leave behind. The best leaders are less concerned with individual legacy and more concerned with building longterm systems, enabled successors, and value-based cultures thatsurvivebeyondtheirera.
Theygaugetheirachievementnotbythesizeoftheirspotlight but the depth of their impact. They measure themselves by their actions, asking: Have I helped to grow other leaders? Have I left the world better than it was before me? Have I made decisions that will still be good for others in years to come?

Navigating Leadership with Integrity
In a disrupted world, trust is thin, and transparency is required, leadership is no longer quantified in terms of results—it is assessed on ethics, values, and character. Being able to lead with a moral compass is not an adjunct characteristic for today's leaders; it is the base upon which sustainableinfluence,culture,andcredibilityareconstructed.
Leadership integrity does not require perfection. It requires consistency between words and actions, consistency under pressure,andthestrengthofprincipletodowhatisrightrather than what is easy. In leadership defined by speed, visibility, and accountability, the most long-lasting leaders are those wholeadwithclarityofconscienceandstrengthofprinciple.

Conversely, when leadership integrity is lost, it flows downhill—toxicculture,disengagement,andlong-termharm thatnostrategyormakeovercanreverse. TheDailyDecisionsThatDefineCharacter
Integrity is not just challenged on big-stage occasions of crisis. It's identified in mundane choices, frequently when nobody is looking. Do we cut corners ethically to get something done by a deadline? Do we tackle the uncomfortabletruthorsweepitundertherugforconvenience sake? Do we stand up to unfairness or keep quiet to prevent arguments?
