Dr Eddie O’Mara

Lecturer
Operations Management

After more than a decade working for Westpac Banking Corporation, Dr Eddie O’Mara swapped the bank for the factory, spending the next decade in steel fabrication in the manufacturing sector. 

‘That’s where my industry involvement overlapped with operations and quality management and the implementation of quality systems in various organisations.’

Like many MBA students, Dr O’Mara decided to go back to university to upgrade his qualifications – and ended up staying. 

‘My industry experience is advantageous in terms of being able to relate to the students and provide real life examples of the challenges they face.’
