 President
& CEO Anne Omrod
featured in Chicago Sun-Times
Who is Annemarie Omrod? She's CEO of Chicago-based
John Galt Solutions. She's a top Chicago tech entrepreneur little
known in the local community. She doesn't seek the spotlight or venture
capital. She's quietly growing her software company one client at
a time.
Omrod just added to her roster Sterling, Ill.-based Wahl Clipper Corp. -- a global leader in making trimming tools for the beauty- and barber-salon trade, consumer personal care and animal grooming.
Her privately held software company competes in the lucrative supply-chain solutions market, which industry analyst AMR estimates generates $5.5 billion in sales and is growing at 7.4 percent annually. Her clients know her accomplishments and value her technology.
Her company takes its name from the iconic figure in Ayn Rand's novel
Atlas Shrugged, where John Galt leads an intellectual strike of leading
industrialists to protect the world manufacturing economy from socialism.
