About OMC

We build companies around people, not the other way around.

Our Story

OMC runs shared services, finance, HR, and systems, for a family of event and hospitality companies. Founded in 2021, we take on the operational work that often slows creative teams down, so they can focus on what they do best. We also have a little fun doing it.

OMC was founded by creatives who've experienced what it's like to be underestimated and underinvested in. We equip the founders running our brands with systems so their businesses grow with intention, strong financials, and sound thinking. We're helpers, process wonks, people who stand out to fit in, and happily go against the grain.

OMC brings out the best in creative companies by handling the “boring” stuff, so their people can focus on the work that moves businesses forward.

Finance

Bookkeeping, payroll, and the financial clarity that lets a founder make confident decisions instead of solving payroll at midnight.

People & HR

Hiring, culture, and care, the human infrastructure that keeps teams steady, supported, and able to do their best work.

Systems & Ops

The frameworks and tools that turn chaos into clarity. Most problems don't need a meeting, they need a system.

Manifesto

Big ideas deserve to be real.

We build companies the way we wish more people did: thoughtfully, collaboratively, and with conviction. These are the values we hold ourselves to.

01
Capacity
We develop whole people, and protect their energy and attention the way we protect cash. A business should expand a life, not consume it.
02
Connection
We think in we, not me versus you. We play offense with each other, and treat everyone from the warehouse to the pitch room like family.
03
Contribution
Everyone gets to do the work that is theirs to do, and to see why it matters. We build companies around talented humans, not the other way around.
04
Commerce
We protect and multiply cash with discipline, turn good businesses into valuable assets, and make sure the people who built them own a piece.
05
Tradition
We are building something meant to outlast any one quarter or deal: an enduring structure that stewards capital, leadership, and flourishing across generations.

Kaitlyn Dineen

Founder + CEO

Kaitlyn Dineen builds companies most people underestimate. Hospitality and experience-led businesses are operationally complex, margin-sensitive, and constantly adapting, especially when things don’t go as planned. If you’ve ever tried to move a thousand people through a city with weather rolling in, you know the work isn’t “soft.”

She is the founder of OTHR Management Company, the operational backbone behind a portfolio of experience-led businesses: Fifth Street DMC, a multi-market destination management company; OTHR Agency, a global creative and experience studio; ROAM, a design-forward rental and fabrication company; and a behind-the-scenes development and hospitality consulting arm.

Building Companies Around People
Why the right humans come first and the org chart comes second, and how that one decision compounds over time.
02
Systems as Care
How operational clarity protects a team’s time, energy, and trust, and keeps burnout off the table.
03
Scaling Without Losing the Soul
Growing experience-led businesses with intention, strong financials, and a culture worth keeping.
