From Iowa to the 100th Floor of the Sears Tower: Pam Sharar-Stoppel Wintrust Bank



EPISODE SUMMARY

Pam shares her story of being a woman in business back in the day, when you had to basically ignore the fact that you had a family to become the Executive Vice President and Regional Market Head at Wintrust. The slogan "you've come a long way baby" rings true!   Pam gives great advice about the satisfaction of mentoring, taking risks and constantly continuing to learn from everyone and everything.  How technology is affecting our traditional way of banking and how she keeps her employees satisfied and engaged.
