Background & Experience 
I work with leaders and teams to create competitive brand positioning and engaging content for internal and external communications, marketing and thought leadership. 

I deliver concise and accurate messaging for executive remarks, presentation decks and client-facing content.

With a career spanning New York, London, and Toronto—at firms including Imagine Software, Bear Stearns, CIBC World Markets, Barings PLC and Salomon Brothers—I bring a global perspective to every engagement.

I also publish Fine Print, a Substack column about the intersection of finance, technology and more. 

I work on project contracts and recurring retainers, acting as a specialized extension of your team.

Let's talk about your next project.

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."

Field-Tested AI Agent Workflows for Builders and Leaders
         

  "Worthy of my first restack."  

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