Project Management (368-DL-20)

Instructors

Claudia Vanessa Gamboa
I'm a Global Program Manager, HR Business Excellence for Abbvie. I am also a graduate of Northwestern University's Master of Science in Learning and Organizational Change (MSLOC). I was Rose's student in the course Leading Global Change in MSLOC. Being a Global Leader is the most challenging form of leadership, but also very rewarding. It took me a while to learn how to flex my leadership style for other cultures while still feeling authentic to myself. I'm also a certified Organizational Leadership Coach. I help people align career and life choices with their values and strengths. I'm also a volunteer career and academic Coach with the non-profit One Million Degrees. I live in the Northern Suburbs with my husband and dog. We enjoy cooking, hiking, and planning travels to our National Parks.
