Doris Fink, VP HR
Before joining Personal Business Advisors in 2002, Doris Fink enjoyed a significant executive career in the healthcare imaging arena. During her tenure in healthcare, Doris created, successfully built and ran Thermo-Diagnostics Inc., a mobile diagnostic testing service.
Tasting entrepreneurial freedom in this first endeavor, Doris sought out freedom in yet another space - Small Office Home Office. Mail Boxes Etc. was an attractive match for her skill set and creativity. Within this organization, she experienced the role of franchisee as well as corporate trainer, experiencing all aspects of the franchise industry.
With the advent of the new Millennium, Doris sought out a new role in a virtual setting. Uwe Brettmann invited her to become part of PBA's executive recruiting division where her first assignment was an intense study of trends in the executive job market and solutions for disenfranchised executives. After extensive market research, Doris launched the Senior Advisor division and business model where today she leads our largest team. On a corporate level, Doris serves as VP of Human Resources.
"I have loved each and every opportunity in my varied and exciting career, however, PBA is the perfect way for anyone to build a virtual global business, work with executive peers and give back to others at a time in our history when outsourcing, age discrimination and a global economy has devastated the lives of millions in our country, and at the same time be able to enjoy extensive financial rewards."
