Pamela Jolly Bio 2015 oakland

Pamela C.V. Jolly, Founder and CEO of Torch
Enterprises Inc, has more than 18 years of
proven leadership and strategic management
expertise; her primary focus is legacy wealth
creation that passes on for generations. Her
company Torch Enterprises is a strategic
investment firm focused on growing and
sustaining minority owned businesses. She is
skilled at guiding legacy organizations across
the country to elevate their standard of
business through strategic succession
planning and practical application of business
and financial principles. Since 2004, Torch has assisted over 1000 entrepreneurs and remains committed to
raising capital and awareness for women and minorities desiring to build wealth
through ownership. Pamela Jolly uses her extensive background in financial services,
strategy, community development, and theology, to help minority entrepreneurs and
organizations succeed.
Pamela co-authored the strategic assessment for the rebuilding of the Greater New
Orleans area post Katrina. She also underwrote over $200 Million in support for
rebuilding efforts in Mississippi. These two experiences sparked her desire to find
alternative ways individuals and groups would work together to rebuild their
communities with ownership and equity. Concerned with the low levels of financial
and business acumen in our communities, Pamela designed a method to raise the
standard of business and legacy to wealth in the black community. This year, after
much study and research, Pamela launched the NarrowRoad™, a unique patent
pending developmental methodology that infuses the cultural realities of people of
color into an educational journey that transforms the financial wilderness into a
defined pursuit of the promised land.
Pamela has a BS from Hampton University, an MBA from The Wharton School of Business,
an MTS from Boston University School of Theology, and is currently pursuing an Ed.D from
the Graduate Theological Foundation.
Pamela is a sought after speaker both nationally and internationally, lecturing and
advising businesses and leaders with her research and work in places such as Korea,
China, Japan, Africa, the Caribbean, and most recently Oxford England. She inspires
audiences around the country, at every level, to break through barriers and pursue
the promise we have inherited and the wealth that comes from owning the fullness of
who you are. Her book detailing the NarrowRoad™ will be released in 2015.
