Pamela Gutman

Pamela Gutman currently serves as the Regional Director for Advanced Transportation and Logistics for the California Community Colleges (CCCs) in the San Francisco/Monterey Bay Area. Prior to joining the Community Colleges, Pam was a Corporate and International Banker (Chemical Bank and Citibank) and Management Consultant with SRI International (aka Stanford Research Institute). While at SRI, Pam was part of the Transportation Practice and the Innovation Group. She worked on strategy, strategic marketing, and competitive positioning projects with companies in aviation and automotive and across other industries.

A major focus of her current responsibilities is to facilitate the alignment of the 14 CCC’s automotive programs, the three heavy duty/diesel programs and three aviation programs with current and emerging technologies and employer workforce needs. In recent years, her priorities have focused on developing and providing training to CCC auto/truck faculty in EV technologies, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Advanced Electrical Systems/Networks. She is also facilitating the development of semi-autonomous curriculum/courses for students and incumbent workers and developing strategic partnerships and apprenticeships across the transportation spectrum. The next challenge is to understand how AI will impact transportation careers and what the resulting skill sets will be for our workforce and students.

Pam holds a B.A. from the University of California at Los Angeles in Political Science and a MBA from the American Graduate School of International Management (aka Thunderbird).
