Bio
Mitchell Belitz
Pamela was my manager when I joined OUP in my role as Finance Business Partner for North America Operations. Pamela is a strong leader, with a collaborative and accessible management style. She is adept at managing up and across complex organizations and successfully built a high-performing team, which I was fortunate to be a part of. It has been inspiring working with her.

I’ve had the pleasure of working for Pamela for two separate contracts, first at Cable and Wireless and then later at Vodafone. She is clear in her communication and expectations, and I found her to be a first rate senior manager that gets the best out of her staff and great relationship building with stakeholders. My experience was very positive and I found Pamela to be well respected by all. Happy to recommend her.
