Bio

Belinda Fremouw is an educator and business professional with over two decades of project management and senior leadership experience and the first woman in the world to achieve all five PMI Project Management Credentials: Project Management Professional (PMP), Program Management Professional (PgMP), Risk Management Professional (PMI-RMP), Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP), and Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM). Belinda is also a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) and was a pilot participant in the Agile Certified Professional (PMI-ACPsm) exam, earning her sixth PMI certification.

Belinda began her career in the medical industry, providing business practice consultation to medical offices with a focus on decreasing expenses while improving patient care quality. With a demonstrated strength in identifying and streamlining inefficient processes, Belinda developed her project management capabilities and over the next decade worked as a senior project manager in the healthcare, finance, engineering, and technology sectors. Belinda was instrumental in the development of a comprehensive software development methodology employed by multiple clients.

Over her career, Belinda has managed more than $700 million in project endeavors, with teams and on-site experience in more than ten countries, earning multiple recognitions and awards. Her rigorous project management maturity evaluation was rolled out to more than 500 project managers in the United States, Europe, and India.

In 2003, Belinda embraced the Agile approach to project management and found that those principles could be applied outside of simply the software development realm. In evaluating a project portfolio, Belinda is adept at identifying which projects would thrive within an Agile approach and those that would best be suited for a traditional approach to project management.

In 2007, Belinda brought together her passion for project management and professional development to form Passionate Project Management, an education and consulting firm specializing in the advancement of project managers and the project management profession. Her acclaimed Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification preparation courseware is used by more than fifteen educational companies and is the preferred courseware for multiple Project Management Institute chapters. A sought after speaker, Belinda travels frequently lecturing at industry events, meetings, and seminars and consulting with clients on their project management practices, approach, and methodologies. Belinda has assisted numerous companies in the development of their own methodology and has helped introduce and integrate Agile into their approach.

Belinda is the author of multiple project management courses and self-study programs for PMI certifications, including PMP, CAPM, PMI-RMP, PMI-SP, and PMI-ACP. She served as the technical advisor on a soon-to-be-published book on CAPM preparation. In addition, Belinda’s book, “You’re a PMP®, Now What? The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly of Certification”, in which she collected data from more than 700 PMPs, has a targeted publication date of 2012.

Belinda resides in Arizona with her husband, Devin, and their two “replacement” children: two rescue dogs – Sierra and Franki. Belinda has three grown daughters: Brittany and Brooke reside in the Phoenix-area and Brandie is proudly serving her country overseas with the US Navy. Belinda and Devin are looking forward to welcoming their first granddaughter, Maddison, in Spring 2012.
