Pamela Root Email & Phone Number

Strategic advisor and consultant with multi-decade experience in developing and managing governance, including compliance and non-financial risk-focused frameworks for top-tier global financial institutions, including Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, and Goldman Sachs. With a strong regulatory, legal, governance, and enterprise risk background, I have navigating complex regulatory environments globally, challenging groupthink, driving tough decisions collaboratively, and managing global regulatory relationships. Known as a key driver of cultural change, I have strengthened ethical and cultural standards, led governance and oversight forums, and managed operational, reputational, regulatory, and other non-financial risks. Additionally, I have supported different businesses and worked with C-suite and other senior-level officers and board members, global regulators, and partnered with other control areas, including finance, risk, operations, technology and human resources.I bring the lens of a lawyer and the acumen of a business strategist to my work, which enables me to carefully analyze and identify ways to improve organizational culture, governance, and internal controls. I pride myself on leveraging sound business judgment with pragmatic advice to consider all facets of legal, regulatory and reputational perspectives in strategic discussions. I am equally passionate about building effective teams, establishing sustainable controls and processes, developing strategies and plans, and driving complex and sustainable transformation and change for financial services institutions. A fun fact about me: I have traveled extensively for work and pleasure, including to over 30 countries and all 7 continents (most recently, Antarctica). I appreciate the opportunity to connect with board members, corporate directors, and legal/compliance executives.Areas of Expertise: Strategic Advisory • Corporate Governance & Sustainability, including ESG • Compliance Management • Board Governance • SEC Reporting • International Climate Change Reporting • Legal, Operational, & Financial Risk • Due Diligence • Crisis Management • Strategic Planning & Execution • Stakeholder Engagement • U.S. and International Environmental Law
