“Pamela brings in experience across a wide range of situational perspectives that she has successfully navigated during her time in industry. Her previous commercial success came from the ability to develop and implement actionable strategies, but perhaps the most important talent that Pamela brings to the table is her passion and unique ability to inspire those whom she coaches by helping them to find their true gifts and use them to their greatest advantage to find their own success.Pamela has a great ability to bring teams together to align on goals and is highly engaging, motivating, and inspiring in front of groups when training and running workshops. Her customer focus, willingness to listen and inclusive style, has helped me and my team focus on customer insights and unlock our lead asset’s unique value proposition.
In addition, her all-encompassing approach and the ability to help teams to connect the dots allowed us to more clearly identify opportunities and challenges and embrace a non-conventional approach to tackle them, which translated in creative, actionable recommendations and an increased level of confidence throughout the team.”
