What other management consultants can say that they have worked with Mary Barra, Dave Calhoun and Eric Schmidt as they rose to their positions as the CEOs of three of the most significant US companies?
Pamela has worked with amazing leaders in emerging companies and small, closely held partnerships as well as global Fortune 100 firms like GE, Merck, Telstra, BHPbilliton, Turner Broadcasting and GM. She knows the challenges of leading transitions in start-ups and mature companies from growing pains and team assimilation to exit strategies and leadership succession.
Her current interest is helping closely held companies’ leaders gain insight into what it takes to lead growth and sustainability strategies.
Pamela built and led an international consulting business that received recognition for its own growth and impact: “Mercury 100 Fastest Growing Colorado Companies”; “Boulder Top 25 Women Owned Companies” “Colorado Top 100 Women Owned Businesses”; Denver “YWCA Outstanding Women Professionals”.
She sold that business after nearly 20 years and the firm continues today — profitably, with new and legacy organizations in the US and internationally. That process and her research led to the publication of her book, Exit Signs: the expressway to selling your business with pride and profit.
Dr. Dennis is proud to be affiliated with the Leeds School of Business in their professional mentoring program at the University of Colorado, and does board work with community non-profits. She has also taught at great corporate “universities” and speaks at international and national organizations on leadership and change.
Her alma maters include a Ph.D. in Organization Development and Education from the University of Colorado, an MA from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a BS from California State Polytechnic, San Luis Obispo.
Pamela lives in Boulder, Colorado enjoying world travel, not enough golf and the joys of four wonderful grandchildren.
