5 people have recommended PAMELA (PAM)
"Pam is an excellent manager with attention to detail. She manages projects to completion and is very
thorough with her analysis and budget tracking. She also has an excellent attitude and makes every
environment very positive and welcoming. Pam helped many functions during her tenure with Jack Link's
and managed projects with high-profile exposure throughout the company. One example of Pam's great
project management skills was the planning of the National Sales Meeting. Pam led the planning and
coordination of the event, which culminated in a first-class meeting with different activities and
entertainment. Everyone walked away from the meeting with positive reviews and better relationships based
on the event. I would recommend Pam as a future employee and feel that she has many different skills and
qualities that will contribute to a group's or company's success."
Kevin Papacek, Director of Marketing, Jack Link's Beef Jerky, worked directly with PAMELA (PAM) at
Jack Link's Beef Jerky
"Pam is a detail-oriented professional who works to complete tasks in a timely and efficient manner. She
performed critical daily functions for our 25-person office (e.g. managing the relationship with our property
manager, overseeing the process of reserving the Company car and ensuring that it was properly maintained,
keeping all office supplies in stock, etc.). Pam also kept everyone apprised of relevant office news such as
when a client was scheduled to visit, the status of computer network interruptions, building safety issues (a
water main break and nearby underground explosion) and more. She made many valuable contributions to the
team."
Jim Burrows, Director of Cost Accounting, Jack Link's Beef Jerky, managed PAMELA (PAM) indirectly
at Jack Link's Beef Jerky
"Pamela is a fast paced, energetic lady with loads of experience. She blends this well with great
Administrative Skills and personality."
Julianne Prowse, General Manager, Coloplast Pty Ltd, managed PAMELA (PAM) at Coloplast Corp
"Pam joined Coloplast as an Executive Assistant shortly after the company relocated it's U.S. headquarters to
Minneapolis. In her capacity, she provided administrative assistance to three Vice Presidents, including
myself during a very challenging and chaotic time. This required her to manage multiple priorities on a daily
basis, something that she did quite well. Aside from being very professional & reliable, Pam demonstrated a
Page6
strong degree of personal initiative, and frequently took on additional responsibilities to help re-establish an
efficient operating environment in our new location. Within Corporate Sales, Pam was a valued team player,
and willingly extended her support to my three direct reports, as well as, to our field based National Account
Managers when needed. It is my pleasure to recommend Pam as a highly competent Administrative
Assistant."
Peter Romanot, Vice President, Corporate Sales, Coloplast, managed PAMELA (PAM) at Coloplast
Corp
"I had the opportunity to have Pam in several classes that I teach at North Hennepin College in the project
management series. Pam is an exceptional learner with a drive to learn and great enthusiasm. She is also
networked well with the other students and eager to help them any way she can. Pam is a dedicated life long
learner with a sincere desire and interest in helping others!"
