I’m Omar Khateeb

I’m Omar Khateeb. I help medtech sales people succeed by learning and leveraging skills that I developed initially for myself, to sell in medtech as a salesperson and sales leader.

I’m not a guru and I don’t have a grand theory. Instead there’s vision backed by experience and research. I know how to do it because I’ve done it, so I can show you how.
