Partner. A seasoned entrepreneur and industry leader, Tawakol
brings decades of experience in AI, data platforms, and enterprise

in his role as CEO of Rembrand.
"One of our core values at super{set} is to build fiercely but
honorably—Omar Tawakol taught us that," said Tom Chavez, co-founder and managing partner of
super{set}. "In my second company, we went head-to-head as rivals,
and I saw firsthand his tenacity, intelligence, and fierce resolve.
There could be no greater endorsement of what we're building than
Omar's desire to join us, and we're fired up to create and scale
companies together."
Tawakol joins super{set} at a time of accelerated growth,
following the successful acquisition of Habu, a super{set}
formation, by LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP), and the continued momentum of
portfolio companies like Ketch, Checksum, Kapstan, and Boombox.

veterans and operators, they know how to assemble world class teams
that build category-defining companies," said Omar Tawakol. "These are very exciting times.
The market is hungry for AI applications that drive real business
impact and streamline how companies produce and stay competitive.

groundbreaking AI innovation into enduring companies."
