“Para innovar tienes que salir del estatus quo, de la zona de confort, no hay que tener miedo al fracaso, a romper las reglas” That is how Omar Arab formulates his career in the tossing and turning of the financial, technological, and political world in which he has managed to create a name and position for himself in. In this episode of “PIVOTeANDO” we are joined by Omar Arab, Executive Vice President of Corporate Business at VeriTran. His life story is fascinating, the grandson of a Syrian immigrant moving during World War Two to Mendoza, Argentina he began to make a name for himself in selling groceries. The business that his grandfather and then father worked on became well known all throughout Argentina and gave Omar a glimpse of that entrepreneur field. From breaking the rules, a bit as a kid by learning rock & roll to then becoming radically different from his family and going off to study at Stanford, Omar has been defying that status quo. He learned and invested on that education as much as he could and has taken all the chances, he has to stay ahead such as learning about the internet before its explosion and gaining from it. Turning over to financial technology world he has continued to grow that drive to be on the cutting edge, of pushing forward what we know and what we are yet to find out. “Las personas están en cuatro modos: on, off, mute, y love”
