About

Marketing and communications expert with a global technology and financial services background.

I have held senior roles with Imagine Software, Bear Stearns, and CIBC World Markets. I work with leadership teams and stakeholders to develop content that drives engagement and results.

I provide institutional financial fluency and senior-level editorial judgment to develop strategic direction, client-facing content, bylined editorial, and short- and long-form thought leadership. 

Clients can expect fast and reliable turnaround with minimal oversight.  

I look forward to working with you.

Testimonials

  "Debra is a consummate professional with great instincts. Her preparation and vision drive big initiatives to success, and her ability to improvise and think on her feet turns crises into opportunities. Her track record of getting the best from her collaborators — technologists, salespeople, C-level — sets her apart."  

Peter Quinones
Senior Communications Strategist
         

  "Debra joined us in 2014 and now we have a modern new logo, exciting and colorful advertising, a strong set of marketing collateral, and an engaging website. We worked on upgrading our website for years before Debra got here, to no avail. We have received a lot of positive feedback from clients, and a noticeable increase in leads generated from indirect contacts."  

Scott Sherman, Imagine Software
Company Founder
         

  "The juxtaposition of Bear Stearns institutional pricing against Substack's valuation is savage. Framing the platform shift as material mispricing… makes the whole piece work like an actual regulatory filing."

  "Worthy of my first restack."  

Michael W. Green
Yes, I give a fig… thoughts on markets.
