Rebecca Olson leads the team at the Oman American Business Council (OABC), the official affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Oman. Originally from Upstate New York, Rebecca has lived in Muscat since 2013 and brings more than 20 years of international experience in nonprofit, business, and communications leadership.
Since joining OABC in 2017, Rebecca has helped grow the organization into Oman’s most active business networking platform, more than doubling its membership and events. Promoted to CEO in 2023, she has expanded OABC’s trade and investment services, launched new initiatives such as the Export Compass and Gateway Oman programs, and strengthened partnerships with both the private sector and government entities. Under her leadership, OABC now plays a central role in connecting Omani and U.S. companies, facilitating joint ventures, and leveraging the U.S.–Oman Free Trade Agreement.
Rebecca is passionate about making Oman an easier place to do business and amplifying the role of OABC members in the country’s economic diversification. Beyond her work, she enjoys traveling, promoting literacy, and exploring Oman with her husband and three boys.
