Business Partners/Sponsorship Director

Pam Nila

Pam joined the US Army directly after graduating from high school and became a military intelligence analyst and cryptographer. After completing her initial tour of enlistment, Pam continued to serve in the Army National Guard and Reserves until 1991. In 2001, after the attack on the US, Pam re-enlisted in the Army Reserves at the age of 4, training troops and units in a variety of critical tasks before they deployed to the war zones.
Due in part to being exposed to high tech systems while in the military, Pam was an early (1994) internet marketing executive and entrepreneur. After working for a small start-up, she started an online publishing company in 1997. Forced to rethink an online start-up business after the DotBomb Bubble of the late 1990,'s, she joined a large publishing company and was on the team that commercialized and put several large research datasets online.
Pam became passionate about KM while working for a large STEM publisher. After over ten years of working with librarians and researchers, Pam returned to university to obtain a MSLIS. She most recently worked for ExLibris as a Technical Support analyst for the Alma LIS. She is currently working as a contractor on a variety of projects.
