Personal Life
To talk about personal life, Jackson experienced academic challenges, and at times (when he was in high school) racism and bullying by his school mates and others. His father was not a part of his life. Raised by a single mother, he says, his upbringing was tough at times. His mother did everything she could for her two sons and her own drive and ambition towards starting up a business demonstrated a ‘do the impossible’ mindset which was injected into Omar’s drive.
Beginning
Jackson always had an entrepreneurial spirit. It was his difficult early years that Omar says shaped him to become a strong-minded and successful entrepreneur, determined to make a positive impact and give back in a meaningful way. He lives by the mantra of “work hard, always learn, never give up” and hopes to use it to inspire a younger generation. The ambitions were apparent from the start when, aged eight, Omar claimed he would one day have his own business. Fast forward to today and OJ is truly on his way to realizing his dream as he became a successful entrepreneur and partner at a private equity firm at age 26.
