Outsourcing leaders fuse IT and business skills

10.04.2006

Pamela Carreon, who manages offshore outsourcing and enterprise vendor services at Wells Fargo & Co. in San Francisco, said she needs to fill three jobs on her staff and wants people who are good communicators, listeners and problem-solvers. Finance and business management experience are also high on Carreon's skills wish list.

Although Carreon manages Wells Fargo's IT outsourcing relationships, she doesn't have a formal IT background herself: Her major in college was Spanish.
