Pamela brings a rare blend of strategic foresight, ethical leadership, and deep sector expertise to the life sciences space. As the founder of GRC Catalyst, she draws on decades of hands-on experience leading governance, risk, and compliance functions across global pharmaceutical and biotech organisations including both “big pharma” and start-up biotech companies.
Through GRC Catalyst, Pamela brings practical insight, deep sector knowledge, and a values-driven approach to help clients navigate regulation, manage risk, and lead with integrity.
In addition, and demonstrating her transferrable skills, she worked on the largest UK infrastructure project, High Speed 2 (HS2) Ltd, designing and delivering their risk-based assurance strategy and framework.
Pamela is not just a compliance expert; she is a catalyst for cultural transformation. Her strength lies in translating complex regulations into practical, value-driven strategies that foster ethical behaviour and operational excellence. She can navigate the intricacies of ABPI, EFPIA, GDPR, or internal control frameworks (e.g. SOX) and approaches challenges with clarity and integrity. She is action and outcomes focused.
Clients choose Pamela not just for her technical expertise, but for her ability to build trust, inspire change, and deliver results that resonate at the Board level. GRC Catalyst is an extension of her personal vision: governance enacted with integrity, strategy, and impact.
