🌍 From $200 and a Dream to Business Success
Omer arrived in the United States in the early 1990s with little money and a big dream. His initial goal was simple: get an education, work hard, and build a better future. But life had other plans. He pivoted from studying aviation engineering to exploring retail businesses, gas stations, and warehouses, eventually finding his passion in Human Resources and Staffing.
