Omar Zoheri
I’ve spent 15 years on both sides of organizational transformation—first as a consultant advising companies in distress, then as an operator running the changes myself.
As a consultant at AlixPartners: cost reduction and restructuring frameworks for Fortune 500 retailers and financial services.
As an operator: workforce transformation at LA County Health (22,000 employees, $4B budget) and strategic initiatives at USC.
I write about what I’ve learned.
I can speak to:
- Cost reduction and COGS analysis at scale
- Higher education restructuring (why universities aren’t corporations)
- Public sector workforce transformation
- WARN Act compliance and workforce reduction execution
- Remote/hybrid work policy at scale
- Board-level communication during transformation
