Querida Pamela: cómo olvidar tu fuerza inspiradora, tu sonrisa y tu generosidad. Un gran ejemplo de mujer y profesional. Descansa en paz.

Our reflections about Pamela from the Skoll Centre are up on our blog here: http://skollcentreblog.org/2016/08/12/in/.../amela-hartigan/

It's so hard to imagine our work and the Centre without her. Her energy was unstoppable, her rolodex (yes, she did still have a rotating card holder!) unmatched, and her ability to connect people to achieve great things will be forever missed.

My life has certainly been shaped by Pamela - everything from my fellow Skoll Scholar husband and the Skoll-inspired baby in my belly to many aspects of the way I view the world.

I know she would want us to dry the tears and get on with trying to fix some global problems. I think there will certainly be more tears for a bit, but I know so many people who will work to honour her in their lives by continuing to do work they care about, inspired by her lead. I will of course try to do the same, though it will be hard without the world's best connector, barrier breaker, and champion pushing you on. Pamela, are so missed.

Dear Pamela, I meet you first time at WEF. You were the coolest woman I had ever meet. And all though you seemed so very much out of our league, you stepped in, helped engaged and continued to do so over the years. You were a truely amazing person that I am honored to have worked with. A thousand thanks and good passing to you! Love Kigge

What an extraordinary force for change in the world Pamela was. Such a powerful woman whose work and life was nothing less than game changing.
