About

With a world-wide reputation for creating deep consumer connections while driving explosive revenue growth, Omar Johnson was voted one of the most innovative CMOs in America by Business Insider and a “Brand Genius” by Adweek. Johnson is best-known for his ground-breaking work as Beats’ first CMO and employee #3, where he leveraged the power of B2H (Business to Human) marketing to drive sales from $20 million to $2 billion becoming the #1 headphones brand in the world before being acquired by Apple for $3 billion.

A strong proponent of majority-female teams, Omar brings an empowering take on diversity, seeing it not as Black and white, but about one color: green. “The best brands start with the best people,” he says. “The larger the pool of ideas and experiences, the more money you’ll make.” A popular speaker with Fortune 500 companies, including AT&T, Salesforce, and ServiceNow, Omar shares a playbook for success that any organization can leverage.

A former pre-med student and self-professed science nerd who discovered a talent and passion for marketing, Omar Johnson began his career amplifying international brands at Coca-Cola’s headquarters in Atlanta. His experience led to stints at Kraft Foods (Chips Ahoy) and Campbell’s Soup (Pace Salsa) before being recruited to work at Nike. There, he rose from a junior role to producing some of Nike’s most memorable TV commercials, including “Rise,” starring LeBron James; “All Together Now,” featuring Kobe Bryant; and “The Most Valuable Puppets.”
