Behind the Scenes with Pamela Mittoo

Coca-Cola's Pamela Mittoo talks ballroom dancing, her passion for data and why she'll never again bang her head against the wall.

I've had the opportunity to connect with and learn from executives of major brands at MediaPost's Insider Summits. In the process I've discovered some truly impressive women, and not only for the work they do but their stories behind the scenes. With Brand Insider: BTS, I get to pull back the curtain on some of the most influential women marketers as they talk about their path to success: the twists and turns, obstacles, inspirations and the valuable lessons learned along the way.

“You gotta just keep going, and [I’m] not sure how long I'll be here, but as long as I'm going to be here, I’m going to make sure that this is a life that I enjoy every moment.” Pam Mittoo, Coca-Cola’s Group Director, Global Technical Consumer Research, always had a “put one foot in front of the other” attitude, but since surviving cancer it’s more than that, it’s her “life mantra.” In this episode of MediaPost’s Brand Insider: BTS, Pam talks with me about her watershed moment, learning how to deal with bias growing up and her unrelenting propensity for translating insight into data.
