About Stephanie Panko
I’m a Senior Project Manager with over 7 years of experience leading complex projects from kickoff to go-live. Currently at PCI Pal, I manage secure implementation projects that help businesses protect their customer communications—something I take a lot of pride in. I love the challenge of bringing structure to chaos, aligning stakeholders with different goals, and keeping projects moving forward, even when things get messy.My career started in supplier onboarding at Basware, where I quickly moved into a leadership role and helped improve efficiency across North America. Since then, I’ve focused on project planning, cross-functional collaboration, and making sure both technical teams and customers feel supported every step of the way.I believe good project management is really about people—clear communication, trust, and adaptability. Whether I’m untangling timelines, managing competing priorities, or facilitating tough conversations, I aim to stay calm, solutions-focused, and always ready to roll up my sleeves.
