Built on reinvention.

Three decades of leadership across industries, markets, and disciplines — from enterprise to startup, corporate to advisory.

With more than three decades of experience, Jamshed Wadia has built a career around reinvention, leading change, and helping organisations navigate disruption. His journey spans marketing, sales, digital transformation, data-driven strategy, and audience engagement, shaped through work across diverse industries and global markets.

As the founder of Aideate Solutions, he partners with brands and agencies to solve business challenges through marketing, communications, and AI-enabled strategy. His work encompasses marketing transformation, executive branding, AI governance, and advisory support for leadership teams. He also mentors early-stage startups through programs such as TASMU in Qatar, Eduspaze in Singapore, and HP Garage 2.0, guiding founders on product development, user experience, positioning, and global brand scale-up.

In addition, he serves as an Independent Advisor to Mavic.ai, supporting the team on AI ethics and governance, product market fit, and growth.

His corporate leadership experience includes building Marketing Centres of Excellence at Intel, driving digital transformation, leading global accounts, and operating across product, pre-sales, and regional marketing roles. At Edelman, he led the digital practice for Asia, owning the P&L, shaping digital solutions, expanding capabilities across the region, and enabling the integration of artificial intelligence into workflows, tools, and strategy.

Jamshed believes that outstanding leadership is built on clarity, accountability, empathy, and transparency. He is committed to creating environments where teams feel empowered to challenge assumptions, bring fresh ideas, and grow through shared purpose.
