Hi, I'm Pam
I'm bringing my 35 years of working in business, including leading an LSE listed company as CEO, to my 3rd act: journalism
About Pam
As a female leader and founder, I've got a lot of experience to lean on and help others tell their stories. From straight forward thought leadership and biz comms that actually talks to your brand and you, to chairing conferences, moderating panels, interviewing cool people and writing about what's going on in the world: I'm talking all things business, buying into women and democracy. And soon, you'll see a new venture with three TMU students - we're founding 100 Reasons to Vote - a podcast and media site to bring young people's voices to the democracy conversation.
The corporate bit
Prior to going into journalism (for my 3rd act), I led a global consulting company (LSE listed) through a turnaround, two rounds of funding, franchising Brazil, a de-listing, working with PE shareholders, and the ‘pandemic’ period. Prior to CEO, my team and I led the turnaround of two regions - Asia & Europe. I worked with 100's of clients, their leaders and boards to help them change their businesses and achieve some pretty remarkable results. So, you could say, I know what it's like to lead a business, which makes my writing, speaking and interviewing all the better. I am also the author of 'Manage To Engage. How great Managers create remarkable results.' (Wiley 2021)
What have I been up to?

Conference Chair & MC
Case: Each year a few thousand people come together to talk about Mining; where it's at and where it's going. Aspermont Media continues to invite me to chair their flagship event, introducing, speaking with, interviewing senior executives, experts and government ministers, as well as moderating many of the industry panels. They trust me to keep their audience engaged and the program on schedule.
"You focus on the audience, making sure they get the best experience, learn and are inspired to attend the sessions." Attendee & Board Director
Pamela Hackett
Author. Speaker. Thought Leader.
Pam is on a mission to help people tell their stories through her live interviews and podcasting. She knows the right questions to ask, in the right way, to get the best out of an audiences time.
She is also on a quest to tell stories that inspire young people to step up and found businesses, vote and lead; to help people feel better about their work through seeing what great leadership looks and feels like; to push women to continue to put themselves out there no matter their age; and to help leaders tell their stories to bring humanity back to business.

A bit of background
PAMELA HACKETT has loved her work for 30+ years. But she needed a change. She started as a front-line consultant in an international operations consulting firm and in 2017 became CEO until 2022. She has advised, led, and supported some of the world’s leading brands through changes in their operating models, results and culture. In a world driven by technology, she believes the future of work is (still) people. She challenges the poor success rates of transformation and doesn’t believe people are intrinsically resistant to change. But she does believe managers impact both. She wants to tell the stories of what great looks like, and so made the shift to journalism.
​
Pam also believes youth, frontline managers and team leaders are the most influential people in a business – sometimes even more than the CEO. Why? Because people power everything. Without your frontline teams taking the right action, a change in results won’t come. Nothing moves until your people move. Pam believes companies can be both productive and engaging – the holy grail.
