We have created a company culture that sets a new standard for customer service and is committed to providing the highest value to both our clients and our consultants through price, performance, and quality. Our Recruiters and Sales Teams are considered experts in their field, providing the highest quality consultants and practical, cost-effective staffing solutions.

ICON’s Supplier Diversity Program covers our service area across the U.S. and Canada and is overseen by ICON’s Founder and CEO, Pamela O’Rourke. Pamela firmly believes that supporting other women in business is imperative, as she has encountered the glass ceiling first hand, and pushed through it to ensure that she remains at the top of our clients’ lists. ICON utilizes an active supplier diversity program that requires the use of Minority/Women Business Enterprise companies whenever possible. Through Pamela’s participation with organizations such as WIPP, WBENC, WBCS, and C200, she has provided sponsorship at conferences, retreats, business fairs, and industry events. Pamela has also contributed over $750k in sponsorships to WBE events over the last 10 years. As a well-known member within WBE circles, Pamela is regarded as a generous, loyal, and steadfast supporter of her fellow women entrepreneurs.
Icon Information Consultants has an incredible health, safety, and environmental (HSE) record. We have ingrained in our team a strong safety culture. The safety of our employees and our clients is of the utmost importance on any job and in any situation. When it comes to safety, ICON is determined to always meet or exceed industry standards and client expectations. We believe an effective safety and loss prevention program is the cornerstone of good operating practice and we hold onboarding training and annual refresher safety training so that all workers understand good safety practices. Due to the variety of industries that we support, we understand that some of our clients will have specific safety policies and procedures that all people on their site will be required to follow. We are used to supporting these programs and upon request, can incorporate any training as required into our onboarding processes.
When Pamela initially formed the company in 1998, she was the sole employee. However, with her entrepreneurial spirit and understanding of how to grow a business, Pamela grew ICON into a thriving organization with thousands of employees across the United States and Canada.
With more than 15 years of IT knowledge and experience, Pamela has performed all aspects of client integration, network engineering, infrastructure, project management, application development, training and documentation. She earned her BBA in Information Systems and Management from the University of Houston. Consequently, she is able to understand the client’s needs and match qualified technical consultants accordingly, significantly increasing the success of the business.
Named as an Ernst & Young “Entrepreneur of the Year®”, Pamela thrives on being a mentor and leads by example. She believes that giving back is an important strategy; one which she demonstrates through her continuous support of women-owned companies. Pamela is a past National Board Member of Women Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and a past Board Member for Women’s Business Council-Southwest (WBCS). She is a current board member of Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) and University of Houston Board of Visitors. In addition, Pamela is a member of Committee of 200 (C200).
In her free time, Pamela enjoys cheering on her alma mater’s Cougars.
