Mohamed Fathy Ghanem — Founder & CEO
Most founders build products. Mohamed Fathy Ghanem is building the intelligence infrastructure modern enterprises will rely on.
As Founder and CEO, Mohamed is leading the creation of a new kind of enterprise company—one designed to provide the intelligence foundation organizations will rely on to operate, adapt, and grow in a rapidly changing world.
The idea behind Novagates was born from a simple realization. While businesses were evolving at an unprecedented pace, the foundations supporting them were not. Organizations were adopting new tools, adding new channels, and responding to rising customer expectations, yet much of the infrastructure they relied on had been designed for a different era.
Rather than addressing these challenges one product at a time, Mohamed envisioned something more fundamental—a company capable of providing the foundation upon which future enterprises could build.
That vision was shaped through 15 years of working with international enterprises across multiple industries and markets. By collaborating closely with enterprise leaders, he gained firsthand insight into how businesses grow, where transformation becomes difficult, and why lasting progress requires more than incremental improvements. Those experiences became the blueprint for Novagates.
In 2022, he began turning that vision into reality.
Over the past four years, Mohamed has led the creation of Novagates entirely in-house, building every core capability with a long-term perspective. The objective was never to follow market trends, but to establish an independent foundation capable of evolving alongside the enterprises it serves.
Today, Novagates is built around two complementary pillars:
NovaTech — The enterprise intelligence layer, bringing together AI, AR, Virtual Try-On (VTO), VR, computer vision, and immersive technologies to transform customer experiences and business operations.
NovaCom — The commercial infrastructure that enables organizations to manage commerce, operations, and digital growth through a unified enterprise platform.
Together, they address two essential dimensions of enterprise transformation: how organizations engage the outside world and how they operate within it.
Professional Summary
Mohamed's background spans enterprise business, digital commerce, startups, international business, strategy, project leadership, and commercial law, giving him a multidisciplinary perspective on how organizations evolve. Rather than approaching innovation through a single discipline, he focuses on aligning technology, operations, and business strategy into a whole infrastructure that create lasting value.
His ambition extends beyond building successful products or businesses.
He is building Novagates to become a company that helps define the next generation of enterprise—creating the intelligence foundation organizations will rely on to compete, innovate, and grow in an increasingly intelligent economy.
