Musa Pam (Questrom’01)

Musa Pam founded Plateau Asset Management (PAM) based in Boston, Massachusetts. PAM is a micro private equity firm, and a privately held, entrepreneurial investment firm with the sole mission of seeking to identify, acquire, operate, and grow one or more well-built family-owned or founder-managed private enterprises. His immediate focus is on acquiring a lower middle market firm in New England, with the eventual hope of developing a socially conscious platform strategy of private equity investments that prioritize investments in, and empowerment of entrepreneurs and founders in underserved and underrepresented communities in and around New England.

Prior to founding PAM, Musa worked for NORESCO (now known as AMERESCO) as an Energy Engineer, then for Sodexo over an almost 19-year career span as an award-winning Facilities Manager, Director of Engineering, and District Manager as the executive responsible for the company’s healthcare facility solutions accounts providing facilities management services to healthcare clients in New England and New York City’s five boroughs.

A native of Plateau State, Nigeria, Musa earned two Bachelors of Science – first in Marine Engineering, and then in Facilities & Plant Engineering from Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA) on Cape Cod, in which time he was elected Secretary and then President of the Student Government Association representing the student body in matters of welfare, wellness, and education. Musa played varsity soccer at MMA and served as Captain of the soccer team.

Musa earned his MBA from Boston University’s Questrom School of Business and served on the Questrom School’s Graduate Student Council.

In his spare time, Musa enjoys working out, playing golf, mentoring, and volunteering his time for various causes and entrepreneurial ventures around Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was elected to the Boston University Alumni Council in July 2017, representing BU’s 326,000 alumni. He is a booster for Massachusetts Maritime Academy’s soccer team and athletics program, and serves as a board member on the advisory councils for engineering and business degree programs at the college. A stroke survivor himself, Musa volunteers as a Peer Visitor with fellow stroke survivors receiving in-patient acute rehabilitation at Boston’s famed #4-ranked Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital where the motto is “Find Your Strength,” and where Musa was a former patient.

Musa is particularly proud and honored to have been crowned the 2017 Sanders Division National Champion at the North American One-Armed Golf Association (NAOAGA) Championship Tournament conducted in Gaylord, Michigan, this past July. Musa was also elected to serve on the NAOAGA Board and volunteers his time helping to advance the causes and interests of one-armed golfers who are limited by injury, illness, or genetics to playing that way. Because of his win, Musa was selected to be part of a team that will represent North America at the 2018 Fightmaster Cup Tournament in the UK, an international Ryder Cup–style tournament contested every two years between European and North American one-armed golfers.

Musa has also been a member of the Harvard Club of Boston since 2016 because of one of his BU Alumni benefits. A budding entrepreneur at heart, he recently cofounded the Harvard Club of Boston Entrepreneurs Roundtable and helps lead and coordinate the group’s mission, vision, and activities which aspire to serve and advance Harvard Club members’ interests in entrepreneurial ventures and the innovation economy.
