Samantha Varner is Head of Product Marketing at ProSymmetry and host of What's the Plan? She's spent years working alongside PMO leaders, resource managers, and operations teams helping them cut through the noise and find better ways to connect strategy with execution.
What makes Samantha's perspective unique? She's not a PMO director or resource manager herself. She's the person in the room asking "why does it have to be this hard?" and then working with teams to design something better. From IT PMOs to pharmaceutical organizations to product development teams, she's helped leaders spot where their systems break down and rebuild them into something that actually works.
Her mission is simple: make complexity manageable and help organizations do work that matters. No buzzwords, no flavor-of-the-month frameworks just practical solutions that give people the space to do their best work.
What’s the Plan? is proudly sponsored by ProSymmetry, the company behind Tempus Portfolio and Tempus Resource. Strategic portfolio and resource management platforms built for global enterprises that are serious about connecting strategy to execution.
