About Jami
Jami Stell currently serves as AVP of Sales. Her interest in management and leadership stems from inspirational leaders encountered in college jobs and her competitive drive from playing sports in college. She is exploring VP of Sales opportunities or strategic roles in operations or finance, with plans to transition from her current company of seven years within the next 18 to 24 months. Jami credits much of her success to the commitment, grit, and resiliency gained from athletics, emphasizing the capacity to view failure as a learning opportunity, fail fast without recklessness, and move ideas into action with reevaluation. She advises women entering the industry to own their development, speak out with curiosity, seek conversations even beyond perceived qualifications, pursue lifelong learning, and embrace a team-focused mindset. Jami resides in Tulsa and participates in philanthropic work, including membership in the Junior League since 2019 with a transition to the local chapter, prior involvement with Big Brothers and Sisters, and current board service with the Smile Foundation, which funds full mouth rehabilitation for those unable to afford it.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Jami
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute a lot of it to my time in athletics, and that commitment, and grit and resiliency, and I would say the biggest piece is resiliency. Being able to look at a failure as a learning opportunity, to be fearless and be willing to fail fast. I measure two, three times, cut one, so it's not reckless resiliency. This ability to take action and move into action and take an idea and execute on it, reevaluate, and take it back to the table. If you are resilient, and you're willing to try it, and you can really believe in yourself, and pick yourself up really quickly, and try again, that is really how I look back at my career.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
For our industry, I would say absolutely own your development, be outspoken in rooms, and curious, and really reach out, even beyond what you think you might be qualified for, or what you might be looking for, and always ask for the conversation, have it, and let things develop, and believe in it. Be a lifelong learner, and have confidence, and you have to be a part of a team focus personality, so you learn from the people you're around as well.
