Pam Stroud · Founder, The Pivot Space
Twenty years deciding who gets hired. Now I help senior women build flexible careers on their own terms.
No personal brand performance. No starting from zero. No burning out to prove yourself twice. I spent two decades leading global talent acquisition functions, so I know what the market actually pays for senior expertise, and how to build a fractional or portfolio career around yours.
20+ years leading global Talent Acquisition teams
I know I have the expertise. I just have no idea how to package it into something I can actually sell.
If that sentence stopped you, you are in the right place.
Every senior woman I work with says a version of it. Not because she lacks capability. Because nobody inside corporate ever asked her to name what she does in a way a buyer could pay for. Inside a role, the org chart answers that for you. Outside it, that answer is the whole game. It's the first thing we build.
The market is moving toward you. Most women just haven't been told.
Organisations are cutting senior headcount. They still need the judgment. They just won't pay a full-time salary for it.
That gap is the fractional market. Paid by the day, the project, the retainer. At rates that reflect the work.
Winning it isn't about a personal brand. It's a sharp answer to what you do, and what it's worth.
That's what I build with my clients. In weeks, not years.
