JONES PARTNERS focuses on profitable impact with their client base. Their client empathy comes from prior experience that reflects successful operational leadership (Fortune 500 to start-up), founding group executive leadership within high tech (Lattice Semiconductor), and deep cross-functional assessment of organizational effectiveness within large and small growth environments.
PAMELA JONES
For more than 20 years Ms. Jones has managed long-term client relationships serving start-up, emerging, and transitioning technology (high tech, healthcare and biotech) companies nationwide. Her firm has recruited board members, C-level executive team members across all functions, and critical contributors to execute on projected growth plans.
She has positioned clients for future growth and IPO’s by working directly at the Board and CEO level. Management consulting turnarounds include Vocollect, Inc., Cascade Microtech, Inc., Merant Corporation, Digimarc, Inc., and Claremont Technology Group (acquired by HP).
Most clients develop proprietary technology, products or data associated with consumer and commercial global markets. Client products range from sophisticated enterprise software providing voice/speech recognition to test/measurement equipment with applications in healthcare and utility transformers and on to patented products enhancing natural food.
- The venture capital community encouraged Pamela to establish her firm after assessing her impact at Lattice Semiconductor. Ms. Jones had been part of the founding group at Lattice and established the human resource function as a member of the executive team. With a focus on assessment, 75% of the individuals invited for first interviews became employees.
- Earlier in her career, Ms. Jones provided management consulting services and retained executive search serving a variety of industries while with a global accounting firm.
- Even earlier, Ms. Jones managed corporate human resource functions for a Chicago-based Fortune 500 company; beginning as the business analyst for the President & Chairman of the Board.
