an insurance executive and Vice President and Chief Human
Resources Officer for the U.S. operations of a multinational
company. She added value to strategic planning, led
change, inspired trust and broad-based action, and built
successful teams. Pam served as a member of a three person
board which governed the company for a period of time, pending
the hiring of a President.
At the same time, Pam was no stranger to balancing work and family. While she was managing a successful business career, Pam also found time to raise a family and run six days a week . . . she has been an avid runner for 30 years. When you add a little mountain climbing, scuba diving, skydiving, and gardening, you have a pretty clear picture of her life. Pam believes that the key to putting it all together is to have a clear picture of priorities, be very organized, keep growing, and she lives her life by these standards.
