Everest Group has appointed Pamela Sinclair (pictured above) as executive vice president and chief human resources officer, effective July 14. Reporting to president and CEO Jim Williamson, Sinclair will join the company’s executive leadership team.
She succeeds Gail Van Beveren, who will retire after nearly four decades with the company. Van Beveren joined Everest in 1986 and has led its human resources function through multiple growth phases.
Sinclair brings over 30 years of HR experience in global financial services and insurance. Most recently, she was Global Head of Human Resources at PGIM, the investment management business of Prudential Financial, where she oversaw HR strategy for more than 4,500 employees. Her remit included recruitment, leadership development, succession planning, compensation, and employee engagement.
Prior to PGIM, she held several senior HR roles at Barclays in both London and New York, including as Head of Learning and Development for Barclays Capital. She was involved in human capital management during major corporate transactions and organisational changes.
“Pam is an experienced HR leader with a record of aligning people strategies with business priorities,” said Williamson. “Her international experience will support Everest’s operational goals and contribute to our long-term talent strategy.”
Williamson also recognised Van Beveren’s service: “We thank Gail for her dedication to Everest over nearly 40 years and wish her all the best in retirement.”
