About Omar

  • I chose to study engineering in college simply because I enjoyed math and physics in high school.
  • Meeting energetic professionals at Andersen Consulting inspired me to pivot from engineering to consulting.
  • I spent 30 years at Accenture, growing through a variety of roles that shaped my leadership style.
  • Over time, I realized that building authentic relationships was just as important as solving problems.
  • Joining Pearson gave me the chance to align profit with purpose by helping people learn and grow.
  • I now lead with a focus on respect, hard work, and the belief that social impact and business success can coexist.
