Board, Chief Executive, Search

Omar joined Prospectus after senior roles at two international executive search firms, specialising in placing leaders across executive, board, and strategic roles for major sports organisations, trade unions, non-profits and charities.

At Prospectus, Omar works within the Executive Search team supporting charities, trusts, foundations and organisations with a social purpose to identify, engage, and onboard transformational leadership. He leads end-to-end search assignments – from briefing and market mapping to candidate engagement, assessment and appointment – for executive and board-level roles.  

Prior to executive search, Omar began his career in policy and public affairs, managing teams at two national charities during two election cycles. This experience informs his research-led, inclusive approach to search, combining sector insight, proactive headhunting and advisory support to deliver diverse, high-impact leadership outcomes.

Omar read Law at the University of Sussex and holds an MSc from the London School of Economics & Political Science. Outside work, he volunteers with community sports and youth development initiatives and enjoys callisthenics, martial arts and family time.
