Pamella Onoriode is a transformational career coach, speaker, and workplace strategist who empowers professional women to align their career success with their biology. Her work disrupts outdated systems by connecting high performance not just with menopause - often the focus of workplace policies - but with the full hormonal lifecycle, spanning from graduate roles to C-suite leadership.
From surviving poverty on the streets of Rio de Janeiro to building a multifaceted career in the UK, Pamella’s personal journey informs her mission: to help one billion women take control of their health, careers, and futures. Diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome at 15 and told she might never have children, she spent years navigating severe menstrual pain, limited healthcare options, and a fraught relationship with her body. Today, she is the mother of two and a fierce advocate for challenging medical and societal narratives that limit women’s potential.
Pamella spent over two decades in senior production roles at the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and BT Sport, building deep expertise in leadership, negotiation, and performance under pressure. Along the way, she also became a certified emotional freedom therapist, corporate trainer, and Period Career Coach, and completed an MBA in Web3 and a diploma in forex trading.
As founder of Align Your Cycle, Advance Your Career, she supports professional women in navigating salary negotiations, career transitions, leadership growth, and confidence comebacks, using menstrual cycle awareness as a powerful strategy for decision-making, energy optimisation, and communication. She also works with organisations to design inclusive, data-driven policies around menstrual health, maternity reintegration, neurodivergence, and the often invisible “third shift” women manage daily. Pamella has delivered corporate masterclasses in hormonal resilience and coached C-suite women to increase their performance and drive sales, bridging the gap between personal wellbeing and commercial impact.
Pamella’s approach is grounded in lived experience, hormonal intelligence, and performance science. She believes syncing workflow to biology isn’t a “soft” option, it’s a strategic advantage. Through her coaching, consulting, and speaking, she continues to lead systemic change and inspire women to reclaim their time, energy, and voice, without shame or sacrifice.
