Episode 66: Jamie Pelchat on Compliance, Operations, and Leading With Fairness

by | May 18, 2026 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

In this episode, Jamie walks us through her career path at GIS and HireRight, from her early days testing a national database to leading compliance and operations teams, and now stepping into delivery transformation.

She shares the mentors who shaped her, the hard-won lessons she still carries, and how PBSA gave an introvert a surprisingly comfortable on-ramp into leadership and community.

  • Practical advice for newcomers who want to grow but don’t know where to start
