Garold Hamilton is a two-time author, dynamic leader, and global voice for resilience, purpose, and transformation. His life’s journey — from growing up in Shaolin, Westmoreland, Jamaica, to becoming an internationally respected engineering executive — is the definition of going from grit to glory.

His latest book, From Grit to Glory, takes readers deeper into the lessons, mindset, and heart it takes to rise from humble beginnings and build a life that inspires others. It’s not just his story — it’s a testament to the power of faith, grit, and an unshakable belief that you are more than your circumstances.

Garold’s first book, Ghetto Youth’s Bible, became an international success, selling over 6,000 copies worldwide. That raw and powerful memoir gave a voice to the voiceless and helped spark hope in young people facing similar struggles around the globe. From Grit to Glory continues that mission on a bigger stage — now with the wisdom gained from decades of experience in leadership and service.

Professionally, Garold is a trailblazer in the field of engineering and infrastructure. He currently serves as the North America Strategic Growth Leader at Introba, where he focuses on expanding market share across sectors like healthcare, science and technology, mission critical, and aviation. He is also the first Black person to lead WSP Healthcare, a role in which he grew the company’s healthcare revenue from $30 million to over $125 million.

His career spans continents and includes work on major hospital systems, government institutions, and mission-driven projects that directly impact communities. Garold is also a real estate developer, nonprofit founder, and international award-winning entrepreneur — but what truly sets him apart is his commitment to using his platform to uplift others.

Whether he’s speaking on a global stage, leading teams, or writing his next book, Garold Hamilton remains focused on one mission: showing others that it can be done — and they can do it too.
