Pam Nicholson is ranked America’s 20th most powerful woman
Look no further than Pam Nicholson, the CEO of Enterprise Holdings, to see how far you can go when you start as a female MT at Enterprise.
Pam has just been ranked the 20th most powerful American woman in business by Fortune magazine. In the editorial they wrote, “As the CEO of Enterprise Holdings whose Enterprise, National, and Alamo brands make up almost half of America’s rental-car market, Nicholson is the travel industry’s top woman. A 34-year Enterprise veteran, she became the company’s first nonfamily CEO in 2013. Since then she’s both grown the U.S. business and expanded overseas, boosting revenue 18% to a projected $19.4 billion this year.”
