Mohammed Al-Hejaili has been manager of the Madinah Art Center since December and is responsible for all aspects of its operations, including the development of promotional social media campaigns.

He also works as corporate communications manager at Namaa Al-Munawara, a nonprofit endowment company that targets economic development with a social impact in the Madinah region.

Al-Hejaili joined Namaa Al-Munawara in February last year as exhibitions and art programs manager. In that role he maximized profitability, and managed client relationships and expectations for creative projects with various budgets.

He had earlier worked as PR and marketing manager, and manager of the director’s office at the Arab Open University in Madinah.

While there, Al-Hejaili helped to promote local community outreach and served as board secretary for the honorary council.

In 2014, Al-Hejaili was promotional manager of the Saudi Club at Cape Breton University in Nova Scotia, Canada, where he organized and managed sporting activities and developed the college’s first Saudi-Canadian newspaper, Saudi Capers.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the university and collected several honors, including the Elaine Delaney Memorial Student Advisory Award and the Mayor of Cape Breton Pin for his community work.

Al-Hejaili holds certificates in digital analytics, digital media and marketing principles and strategies.

For Saudi National Day in 2018, he was the first to create a portrait of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman using origami.
