Amar Marouf builds futures at the intersection of strategy, writing, and art. In 2025, he was appointed to the inaugural cohort of the Future50, a programme of the Global Shapers Community in collaboration with the World Economic Forum’s Global Foresight Network, where he brings foresight and intergenerational thinking into leadership.

At Gowling WLG, he works alongside the Chief Growth & Marketing Officer to turn ideas into action, shaping programmes that help institutions grow with clarity and purpose. His book Alleviate (2021), translated into five languages, explored resilience and memory, while his essays ask how history, culture, and power shape identity and change.

A trained opera singer and cellist, Amar also serves on the board of OrKidstra, a music charity reaching more than 1,000 children from 67 backgrounds in Canada’s capital. Earlier in his career, he founded ventures in consulting and circular fashion, experiences that shaped his perspective on how strategy and culture move from concept to institution.

Across these roles, he works where creativity meets governance, preparing communities and institutions for futures already arriving.
