"There is a strong connection between the values we embrace and how we communicate, motivate and lead organizations," said Nawzad Othman, Principal of The Othman Group, in a statement. "Great leaders in private business, government and non-profits display a dual commitment to diversity and unity of effort, to personal achievement and community service. We hope to show our business and non-profit clients that they can grow and thrive by embracing this values-based leadership."

Otak, Inc. enlists a team of engineers, architects, urban designers and planners in building a variety of architecture, roadways, and bridges among others. Many of their past clients came from Oregon and Washington state.
