Everest Group has announced the appointment of Pamela Sinclair as executive vice president and chief human resources officer, effective July 14. Sinclair will report directly to Jim Williamson, president and CEO, and will become a member of the company’s executive leadership team.
She succeeds Gail Van Beveren, who is retiring after an impressive tenure of nearly 40 years at Everest. Van Beveren joined the organisation in 1986 and has played a pivotal role in leading the company’s HR function through multiple stages of growth and transformation.
Sinclair brings more than three decades of global human resources experience within the financial services and insurance sectors. Most recently, she served as Global Head of Human Resources at PGIM, the investment management division of Prudential Financial. There, she was responsible for HR strategy across a workforce of over 4,500 employees, overseeing recruitment, leadership development, succession planning, compensation, and employee engagement initiatives.
Her career also includes senior leadership roles at Barclays in both London and New York, where she held positions such as Head of Learning and Development for Barclays Capital. She has been instrumental in managing human capital during significant organisational changes and corporate transactions.
Commenting on the leadership transition, Williamson expressed gratitude for Van Beveren’s service: “We thank Gail for her dedication to Everest over nearly four decades and wish her all the best in retirement.”
