Pamela Chance

Founder & Principal Consultant

Pamela Chance began her career at Merck & Co., where she earned the prestigious VP Club Award and created the training matrix for ZOCOR, a product that generated $7.1 billion in peak annual worldwide sales and over $30 billion in lifetime revenue. As Regional Training Manager, she developed enterprise-scale instructional programs that set the standard for pharmaceutical sales training.

At Astra Merck, she supported the launch and growth of Prilosec, the world's number-one selling drug at the time with over $6 billion in annual sales, consistently achieving 105%+ of sales goals.

For 15 years, through P.M. Holmes & Associates, she managed PR and marketing for Fortune 100 clients including AT&T, Coca-Cola, and Ford Motor Company, directed 18 political campaigns, and produced music videos for labels including Interscope, Sony, and SoSoDef.

As Chief of Staff for DeKalb County, she managed operations for 17,000+ employees, led a $125 million Parks Bond initiative, and served as federal lobbyist for the county government.

Pamela is also a 28-year veteran of commercial and residential real estate, holding an active Associate Broker license with Virtual Properties Realty in Georgia. As former Managing Broker of P.M.
