Tamara McLemore is the rock star owner of Project Business Academy where she coaches women to Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification Greatness. Her company is a Project Management Institute Authorized Partner, and she insists on not just teaching future PMPs, she educates them to plan more efficiently, execute with authority, and implement projects with ease.

She’s also taught project management at universities and organizations across the globe including in India and Dubai.
