Enterprise Holdings Inc. President and Chief Executive Officer Pam Nicholson received a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award, which recognizes the Top CEOs in 2018. Glassdoor, one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing job sites, released its annual report this week recognizing the top CEOs and highlighting leaders that U.S. and U.K. employees love working for.
“Winning a Glassdoor Top CEO award is a true acknowledgement of exceptional leadership, as it reflects the opinions of the employees who work with a chief executive every day," Robert Hohman, Glassdoor co-founder and CEO, said in a statement. "I congratulate all of this year’s winners on this significant achievement. It can be a real recruiting advantage to have a top-rated CEO at the helm of a company who has strong support from his or her employees. The best CEOs are inspiring, trustworthy, innovative, and can be great motivators for people to bring their best selves to work.”
Nicholson began her career as a management trainee in the Enterprise Management Training program in 1981, after graduating from the University of Missouri. Approximately 20 years later, Nicholson accepted the role of chief operating officer. She was appointed president in 2008, and was ultimately promoted to chief executive officer of Enterprise Holdings in 2013.
Nicholson has empowered her team to prioritize fresh thinking and innovation throughout all facets of the company.
