Pam joined Milliman in 2003 and served as the Chief Marketing Officer for 15 years.  In 2018, Pam turned her attention to serving as the firm’s Global Social Responsibility Officer.  Milliman is the largest privately held actuarial consulting firm in the world and has been embracing its role in “giving back” to society since its inception in 1947, but has only recently begun tracking, measuring and setting its strategic goals to reflect its mission of “protecting the health and financial well-being of people everywhere.”

Prior to joining Milliman, Pam’s previous experience included 12 years with Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, a Seattle-based national law firm, where she served as director of client services and development. Prior to DWT, Pam served two other law firms in marketing and communications roles.
