Rakan Omari, the CEO of Omari Construction LLC, is redefining what leadership looks like in today's construction industry by grounding it firmly in execution and real-world experience. Omari believes that credibility in construction is earned through performance and accountability, not just titles. He emphasizes the importance of leadership that understands the realities of the job site, which leads to more realistic expectations, achievable schedules, and repeatable quality.
Why it matters
