About Me

I am Dr. Omar Ritter, a multifaceted leader, finance expert, and mental health advocate. With over 20 years of Wall Street experience, I have honed expertise in financial strategy and management. As a CFO, I have led both large enterprises and small to mid-sized businesses, driving growth and efficiency while ensuring every financial decision aligns with organizational goals. My journey includes graduating from West Point and distinguished military service, earning a Bronze Star, Valor Device, and Combat Action Badge for leadership in Iraq. After transitioning to finance, I earned my MBA from Columbia Business School and a Doctorate in Business Administration focused on Finance. I also hold several designations, including CEPA, CPA, SPHR, and CGMA.

West Point to Wall Street

In my book West Point to Wall Street: My Journey to Mental Health, I share my personal experiences with mental health challenges to destigmatize these issues. Through my motivational speaking engagements, I aim to illustrate my commitment to mental wellness and servant leadership.
