Omego joined CIA in October 1955. At the Agency, as in the military, he was usually the first African American in each of his assignments.
In 1975, DCI Colby asked Omego to create & lead CIA’s first independent Office of Equal Employment Opportunity (OEEO).
Under Omego’s leadership, CIA began first significant efforts to increase presence of minorities & women in analytic, ops & tech ranks.
Omego taught Agency leaders that having CIA teams that mirrored people & cultures of US & world was essential to carrying out our mission.
Omego became the first African American member of CIA’s Executive Committee & a charter member of the Senior Intelligence Service.
Omego’s final Agency assignment was as Director of the Center for the Study of Intelligence. He retired from CIA in 1982.
Dubbed “Jackie Robinson of Intel,” Omego is one of the original CIA Trailblazers whose actions shaped CIA’s history http://bit.ly/2m8WF5c
