The SEMA Future Leaders Network (FLN) has named Omar Mora, engineering project lead at WARN Industries, as the network's newest spotlight member.
Get to know Mora in his interview with SEMA News below.
SEMA News: What is the best advice you have ever received?
Omar Mora: At the end of the day, ask yourself, what are you trying to accomplish? Sometimes we get stuck too deep in the weeds, so we need to take a step back to re-evaluate what we're doing, and what is the true goal.
SN: What keeps you in the industry?
OM: I've always been drawn to anything automotive so staying in this field just feels right for me. Getting to be a part of great, recognizable products is a great bonus!
SN: Where can you be found on a Saturday?
OM: Tinkering with my vehicles or making useful things for the home.
SN: How do you prepare for an important meeting?
OM: I gather and get familiar with as much subject-matter information as is reasonable. Being informed and having a plan helps me maintain focus, but adapt as required.
SN: If you could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, who would it be?
OM: Any Formula 1 engineering/technical lead. I'd be interested in learning how those teams operate; how they plan their concepts; how they control and organize information; how they feed that information into their design teams; and how those design teams produce new designs, changes, and adjustments as quickly as they do.
