Elevating Human Capital Strategy

An HR business partner's move from operational support to strategic influence

Omar H. Energy · Saudi Arabia

Omar is an HR business partner at a global energy company in Saudi Arabia, with 14 years of experience, 12 in management. His work covers talent management, workforce planning and leadership development. As the energy industry transforms, he saw that HR has to move beyond operational support and help drive business performance.

Why an MBA in Global Strategy

He chose the MBA in Global Strategy at Dominican University of California through AreteUp to align people strategy with corporate goals and to see organisational challenges through an international lens.

From HR operations to strategic partner

  • Contributing more effectively to executive-level discussions
  • Supporting leaders through change and transformation
  • Designing HR initiatives that reinforce long-term business outcomes

Learning alongside professionals from many industries and regions also broadened his view of global talent trends and leadership models.

In their own words

“The MBA helped me see the organization as a complete system. It strengthened my ability to connect people strategy with business strategy, especially in a global and highly regulated industry.”
