“Omar Aloyoun is a close friend, colleague and true entrepreneur. Since inviting him to be a guest panelist on a Global Online #FiresideChat "The Startup CheckList" in early 2016, he has continued to impress me through his knowledge of technology, entrepreneurship, practical insights and never give up mentality! From my very first conversation with him, I appreciated why some of the Middle East’s most exciting and disruptive young entrepreneurs enjoy collaborating with him. Whenever I’ve consulted him, I’ve found him to very knowledgeable with great entrepreneurial instincts, especially when it comes to predicting the latest tech trends in the MENA region. Omar is definitely someone worth knowing and collaborating with in the Middle East!”

I have been in the product management field since year 2007, where I have taken the 280Group training and shifted my experience from ICT/Telecoms/Databases into the product management world. I made this shift because it's my passion and I was part of a US solutions company who started a remote developers and marketers team in Jordan. Since then, and across different ventures, I had the experiences of working with multiple global remote teams and with hundred of startups, scaleups and accelerators globally on miscellaneous software and apps projects. I have also created the mentoring framework for co-founders on product management and Lean Startup in Qatar Business Incubation Center.
I'm a member of Silicon Valley, global, regional and local (Jordan) product management groups and meet-ups since 2008.
I can bring the entrepreneurial mindset and my Lean Startup methodology to any project I run. Focusing on the problem and the problem-solution fit. I urge the mindset of bringing the right solutions for customers rather than only finding customers for a company’ solutions. Customer experience CX, user behavior, UXD (User Experience Design) and consumer persona (Anthropology) is my passion.
I’m a visionary futurist rooted since 1990’s era of software/technologies and evolved towards the 4th Industrial Revolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), machine learning, business intelligence, VR, AR, MR (Mixed Reality), IoT, Cloud Computing, SaaS, FinTech and on-demand economy.

Observing 100s of companies, startups and scaleups and researching the evolution of technology patterns. I Understand back-end and front-end software development features and the platform economy with a focus on scalability and growth potential.
