SYRACUSE, UT, September 23, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Souphansa Thanimith has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Ms. Thanimith's distinguished career in project controls is marked by a consistent record of achievement and advancement across several industries. Currently, she serves as a project control specialist at Insight Global, where she is assigned to Rocky Mountain Power a Division of PacifiCorp. In this capacity since 2025, Ms. Thanimith has demonstrated expertise in forecasting monthly project performance, aligning target and delivery dates with department heads across 65 accounts, and coordinating costs and schedules to ensure projects remain on track. Her responsibilities include issuing work orders, maintaining account-level project controls, preparing variance reports to identify and explain project performance trends, and managing change orders and purchase orders to support seamless project execution. She develops presentation decks and reporting materials for department leaders, monitors financial, scheduling, and project health metrics from inception through completion, and coordinates documentation to ensure proper budget releases. Additionally, Ms. Thanimith performs month-end accruals, calibrates project targets against forecasted results, and prepares explanations for variances exceeding established thresholds. Her support of project teams in maintaining budgets, schedules, margins, and overall performance targets reflects her exceptional multitasking abilities and analytical skills. These strengths allow her to manage numerous moving parts simultaneously while maintaining an acute awareness of their status and timing. Her approach to data mirrors her academic background in history — viewing numbers as elements of a larger narrative — which enables her to proactively identify trends and devise effective mitigation strategies.
Before joining Insight Global, Ms. Thanimith spent nearly a decade at Northrop Grumman in Utah from 2015 to 2024. She began her tenure in engineering support roles focused on blueprints, technical engineering drawing, maintenance protocols, and data management for government contract work. After fulfilling these initial responsibilities, she transitioned into the financial department as an associate financial assistant. In this role, she gained valuable insight into project control functions related to cash flow and business management for contract fulfillment. Ms. Thanimith managed smaller projects, including the delivery of aircraft parts over five years under contracts with the United States Air Force and other entities. As her expertise deepened, she advanced to larger programs centered on Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS), which required extensive reporting and serving as a liaison between departments to integrate data for contract bidding and contract fulfillments. After six years in this capacity, she shifted her focus from Department of Defense contracts to the utilities sector while continuing to perform similar project control functions with a broader perspective.
From 2011 to 2014, Ms. Thanimith contributed her skills as a data management technician at Cardno EM-Assist Inc., specializing in environmental support within the Department of Defense's Air Force. Her responsibilities included managing hazardous materials compliance data and coordinating with military personnel and vendors to ensure regulatory compliance.
Earlier in her career, after graduating from college, Ms. Thanimith worked in quality assurance and quality control roles at a local personal care products manufacturer, Yusef Manufacturing Laboratories and Kelly Scientific Resources assigned to Kellogg's. Serving as a quality assurance manager, she established a comprehensive quality department, which significantly contributed to her professional development and deepened her understanding of regulatory requirements.
Ms. Thanimith's academic journey began at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, where she studied early elementary education with aspirations of becoming a teacher. After two years of general education coursework there, she relocated due to her husband's military commitments and continued her studies at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia. The university did not offer the same program as her previous institution; instead, its curriculum was more extensive. Driven by time constraints related to family circumstances and inspired by a passion for United States military history — though limited by course availability — Ms. Thanimith ultimately concentrated on Latin American history. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in history from Christopher Newport University in 2006. Her senior thesis was recognized among peers and published in the university's online journal.
Throughout her life, Ms. Thanimith has attributed her success to the profound influence of her late father, who instilled discipline and emphasized the importance of mentorship. This foundation has been further strengthened by her faith, which continues to propel her forward as she strives to create a lasting legacy for her family.
Beyond her primary career achievements, Ms. Thanimith has engaged with civic-minded organizations through volunteer work providing free self-defense training for women via martial arts instruction. During her tenure at Northrop Grumman, she was honored with 10 Coins awards for outstanding contributions.
Creativity also plays a significant role in Ms. Thanimith's life outside the workplace. She has participated in local art shows, including the annual Urban Arts Festival at the Gallivan Center in Salt Lake City, where she showcased three-dimensional wire tree sculptures crafted from natural glass rocks and gemstones collected during travels with her daughters.
Born in Clovis, Ms. Thanimith is a proud mother of two daughters: her eldest holds a degree in psychology, and her youngest recently graduated from high school. She enjoys martial arts training, paddleboarding excursions, hiking adventures and crafting projects that foster creativity within her family.
Looking ahead, Ms. Thanimith aims to advance to strategic managerial roles where she can lead teams of specialists and leverage her expertise to drive greater efficiency across multiple projects. In addition to these professional aspirations, she remains passionate about acting and modeling — having recently completed the Artists International Media's Professional Actors Workshop with a master's certification — and seeks opportunities for significant roles that reflect her values and family principles, while expanding modeling engagements beyond local venues.
Ms. Thanimith's journey reflects unwavering dedication, both professionally and personally, as she continues to build on achievements that inspire those around her while shaping a meaningful legacy for future generations.
