Hottie of the week: Omar Jamil

Who is he?

Intellectual, illustrious and successful, Omar Jamil is everything a modern man should be. There is something warm and welcoming about his cheeky grin and glasses that we cannot get enough of. Omar’s charm has opened many doors for him and few people have had as colourful a career as he has, including experience in everything from banking to journalism. This circuitous route led Omar to his true calling — public relations — and he set up his very own PR company, Latitude CRS, in 2010, aiming to revolutionise PR in Pakistan. But there is more to Omar than work: he not only writes but also sings and admits he would like to sing professionally if it hadn’t been for his work. Ladies, if you are picturing Omar serenading you with a guitar, then you aren’t the only ones — we can’t help ourselves either.


Why we love him

Omar not only loves meeting new people but also introducing others to things that interest him, such as music, literature, architecture and nature. He is smart and professional, with an in-depth knowledge of everything under the sun, from technology to politics to marketing and of course, the media.

Beneath the calm, cool and collected exterior lies an artist and a dreamer who loves to experience the different things the world has to offer and draw inspiration from them. Omar confesses that he has always dreamt of just dropping everything else, grab a backpack and travel the world. His favourite travel destinations are crystal-clear beaches with lots of sunshine. He hates liars and values love and friendship over everything else.

What you didn’t know about him

Omar would love to write a great novel someday but hasn’t met the right muse to help him go ahead with it.

His favourite cuisine is far-eastern, pan-Asian food.

Ladies, take note: An intelligent, independent and ambitious woman who can make him laugh is what Omar is looking for. So if that sounds like you, we suggest you make a go for it before someone else does. Who knows, you might just inspire that great novel out of him?
