Ode to Pam

Today at the office we said "Be seeing you" to my colleague Pam, who accepted a wonderful new position running marketing for an exciting entertainment venture in the city. While she's still quite close (lives and now works in Tribeca), it was hard to see her leave tonight, as over the last few months we also became good friends.

My other colleague and friend Nikki said during the champagne toast "Pam made this place a lot better", and neither Nikki or I had dry eyes. Certainly Pam's impressive background running marketing for Madison Square Garden and developing other world class brands made her the 'go to' person for our CEO, senior level clients and mentoring younger staff; Pam was someone you learned a lot from.

But the footprint Pam leaves behind is much more than marketing expertise. Pam brought enthusiasm, passion, zest for life and the most gracious way of making everyone feel important and valued to work every day. That's what will be missed most.
