About Omar A. Gheith

I’ve spent 20+ years doing one thing really well: helping organizations navigate people risk before it becomes a crisis.At FedEx, I led Employee Relations for a team of 12 across thousands of employees in one of the most complex logistics environments in the country managing high-stakes investigations, building ER analytics dashboards from scratch, and advising senior leaders on compliance and performance. I earned the Five Star Award, FedEx’s highest employee achievement.Today, as CPO at Designers Edge, I’m doing what I do best: stabilizing culture, building performance accountability frameworks, and aligning people strategy directly to business outcomes.I’m known for three things: defusing ER situations before they escalate, translating workforce data into leadership decisions, and building trust with CEOs and C-suites.
