About Karim Omar

Director of Product at Gathern

With 13 years of hands-on experience in product management and technology, I have made significant strides in leading product teams across dynamic tech landscapes. As the Product Lead at Swvl for two years, I spearheaded the engineering team in developing sophisticated AI products that significantly contributed to the company’s growth through demand forecasting and traffic prediction. My leadership was instrumental in enhancing supply utilization and increasing conversion rates, and I played a key role in driving the company’s expansion into three different countries.

At Capiter, I managed the product team through the early stages, overseeing the development of multiple MVPs that were pivotal in adjusting the business model and establishing a market-fit product. I also led the rapid creation of an end-to-end supply chain and retail model in under six months, demonstrating my ability to deliver results swiftly and efficiently.
