Senior Vice President of Corporate Development and Executive Officer, CalAmp Corp.
Over the last 10 years, encompassing my current tenure at CalAmp Corp (Nasdaq CAMP), a market leader in the Internet of Things, and my time at Global Technology Investments, a Private Equity firm focused on commercializing emerging technologies, I have come to rely on Ms. Panossian’s global marketing expertise as she worked close with me on several key projects and got to know her very well during this time.
Ms. Panossian’s passion for getting it right and her enduring professionalism set her apart from other independent contributors. Her sophisticated grasp of the international multi-cultural business environment combined with her domain expertise in the marketing of innovative products and services provided valuable insights to internal decision makers.
I believe that Ms. Panossian’s extensive experience in the trenches of global marketing and her lifelong enthusiasm for learning and continued personal development have prepared her well to bring value to any Start-up or multinational enterprise. Her warm, personal approach and ability to connect with customers should inspire the company to take the more innovative path. Her curiosity to find novel solutions to business challenges and her rigorous facts based approach should provide her the foundational elements to drive interesting research in global marketing.
I’m without doubt that Ms. Panossian would be a great asset to any organization and would recommend her unconditionally for any endeavor she chooses to pursue. July 6, 2014

Chairperson, Business Management, Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising
I have worked with Ms. Panossian in an academic environment for the past nine years. As Chairperson of the Bachelor of Science in Business Management program at The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising I have recognized Ms. Panossian as a key individual in both the development of and instruction in our bachelor’s program.
She brings extensive experience in global business literacy, product and service marketing planning and implementation to our curriculum and into the class room. She was instrumental in helping design and develop courses in Global Marketing, Transnational Management and International Business for our BS program under regional WASC Senior accreditation. She has demonstrated unique talent in understanding and explaining issues such as value creation, rapid growth strategic marketing concepts and strategic alliance building in global markets whether it be for start-up or multinational organizations.
She has the ability to leverage her knowledge and experience, and create innovative methods and techniques to engage the students and facilitate their learning. This is uniquely challenging for our instructors at FIDM as our class periods are 2 ¾ hours in length and thus requires faculty to be exceptionally engaging and informative to hold the interest of the student. These creative abilities have been employed by Ms. Panossian in the development of both our class room and elearning curricula in which she has taught.
I am confident you will find her to be an exceptional talent and leader in areas of global strategic marketing, international business and as an instructor at any level.

“Vicky was the key owner of developing Impeva’s global marketing strategies. She was very effective in synthesizing a $268 billion Remote Asset Tracking & Monitoring market, developing market entry strategies and capturing $150M new opportunities in the US, EU and Middle East markets.
Through her creative, integrated marketing communications programs, she was able to communicate the value of Impeva’s products and technology to global markets. More importantly, Vicky believed in increasing Impeva’s ROI through creating a competitive edge and providing solutions to global customer needs and wants rather than just products and services.
Vicky is a professional with great ethics, integrity and wonderful humor. I highly recommend her. Maurice Kelechian, Int’l Operations Director, Impeva Labs." May 30, 2012

"As a small business owner, I dealt every day with clients from a multitude of different industries, disciplines, capacities, experience, positions and more. However, only a few left a lasting and distinguishable Impression on me. Throughout several years I had the pleasure of providing multilingual communication services in support of Vicky's international marketing efforts. I found her to be knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and with an incredible initiative and strong dedication to her work. What impressed me the most was that her requests were clear, detailed and based on informed expectations. Everyone at ComNet International felt that her enthusiasm and dedication were both inspiring and motivating. She also worked hard to build authentic relationships. Her efforts and authentic relationship with all of us at ComNet created happier and more productive results.

I highly recommend Vicky Panossian for any potential business opportunity that comes her way. Elias Agel, Ph.D. ComNet International” August 3, 2011
