Pam Donaldson never planned on a career in construction. At 32, she walked away from a business and started over, taking an entry-level role in an industry she knew little about. Today, she is the VP of Community Development at Gordon Highlander, where she champions trade partner relationships and creates programs that empower the next generation.

In this episode of Construction Presidents Club, Pam shares her remarkable journey from administrative roles to executive leadership, the lessons learned in a male-dominated industry, and why relationships are the true foundation of success. She opens up about building Gordon Highlander’s trade relations strategy, the importance of mentorship, and why being open to change can transform careers.

This is a candid conversation about resilience, leadership, and creating impact through people and purpose.
