Bio
Ekpedeme “Pamay” M. Bassey is Chief Learning and Diversity Officer for the Kraft Heinz Company, where she drives a culture of continuous learning, bold creativity, and intellectual curiosity, is responsible for the company’s global learning and development strategy and initiatives and amplifies the work that every Kraft Heinz employee does to create and nurture a diverse and inclusive workplace.
A lifelong learner who loves laughter, words, big ideas, and serving her community, Pamay knows the power of doing big things in small increments. She believes that learning can be a superpower that can transform people, families, communities, and organizations. This belief is demonstrated in her passion projects that, for over a decade, have focused on the ways people believe, worship, lead, and learn.
Her TEDx talk and weekly journal, both named Navigating Sacred Spaces, are based on her project work and her book: My 52 Weeks of Worship: Lessons from a Global, Spiritual, Interfaith Journey. She has also authored a daily journal: Let’s Learn Our Way Through It, Shall We? -- which encourages others to commit to their own personal and professional learning journeys.
Pamay is a graduate of Stanford, Northwestern, and the Second City Conservatory.
