Who We Are
Your business, your people, and your products all require attention. By focusing on everything from your processes to how your team manages time, PMA can help your organization grow – and succeed.
Our difference is simple
we know how to listen.
We’re Industry Experts
Founded in 1995, PMA Philadelphia is a professional development organization that is tuned in to the needs of the modern workforce. We are dedicated to equipping organizations with the critical skills needed to achieve your results. We combine our skills, personal insight and knowledge of people and business to identify your true needs and develop appropriate solutions. We pride ourselves on helping clients lead more productive, successful, well-balanced lives. Our innovative and engaging on-site, virtual and hybrid corporate trainings and executive coaching help organizations leverage learning for change and productivity breakthroughs.
We Listen
By enlisting people, partners, and concepts from a wide range of sources we are able to craft a complete solution that suits your organization’s specific needs. PMA Philadelphia creates opportunities for the people who grow your business to cultivate unique skills. We foster learning environments where business challenges are confronted, and fresh ideas are invited. Our proven methods and tools provide workplace solutions for anyone – from executives and managers to independent contributors, project leaders and intact teams.
We Customize to Your Needs
At PMA Philadelphia, we know that no two organizations are exactly alike. No organization follows a cookie-cutter mold, so we don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions. Our objective is to understand your unique business goals and customize our time-tested learning and development tools to fit your needs. We pride ourselves on building long-lasting relationships with our clients, which we form by taking as much time as necessary to understand your business, your culture and your needs. In our conversations it may seem like you’re doing all of the talking, but we understand that before we can create an effective learning initiative, you need to trust that we “get” you. And we take the time to assure that happens.
WE SUCCEED WHEN YOU SUCCEED
We believe in doing whatever it takes to help you achieve your goals. We are dedicated to your professional growth and success and take the time necessary to make sure you are where you want to be. If you’re not, we’ll continue to work with you until you get there. We don’t cut corners or disappear after your learning solution is delivered; we are always part of your ongoing support and reinforcement strategies.

Gene Venuto
Senior Partner
Gene Venuto is a Senior Partner at Priority Management Associates (PMA) who leads the Client Relationship and Finance teams. He is a true connector with an ability to bring value to every interaction and create engaging, long-term partnerships.
His fascination with the connections between behavior and outcomes is reflected in the highly effective and results-driven learning initiatives he’s designed for PMA’s Fortune 500 clients in a variety of sectors including healthcare, life sciences, financial services, education, and philanthropy. From the first discovery conversation to the follow-up and implementation meetings, Gene is fully engaged with our clients to ensure their learning experience tailored and focused and effective.

Psssst: Don’t mention that we told you, but Gene’s desire to perform at PMA is driven partially by his fear of having to return to his days of donning a bite suit and training protection dogs.
