A project manager for more than five years, Donna Sugarman reinvented herself eight years ago. Donna wanted to utilize her education in Business Management and unique skill sets that she developed in Sales to find a new challenge and exceptional opportunities for growth. Even as a child, she found herself lining up her toys and going to the grocery store with her mom to the ice cream freezer case putting all the flavors together in the case, yes, vanilla with vanilla, chocolate with chocolate, you get it...that is a "wow" memory for Donna. Clearly, organizing is her strength.

PPM: What makes you a passionate project manager?
My passion for people!!! Whether it is a leadership role, mentoring, coaching, solving problems or handling customers concerns, I am always amazed on how well we achieve our goals!
The hardest part of any project manager is getting people to do what they are assigned to do without having them report directly to you! It takes a certain finesse!
