Deborah Brown, MBA

Chief Operating Officer, Principal

• 

Debbie rocks (and not just to 80’s music)! Since joining Development Guild DDI in 1998, she has served as our rock, putting her insights, analytic powers, compassion, and sense of humor to work guiding the strategic direction of our firm. Debbie has served in several leadership roles prior to becoming our Chief Operating Officer. Bringing more than 20 years of experience to her role, Debbie directs our team in their administrative and management functions, including accounting and finance, contracts and proposals, human resources, technology, and contracts.

Before joining Development Guild DDI, Debbie was employed at Fine Arts Express, the largest art handler in the nation, for eleven years. Debbie served as Director of Human Resources, overseeing all internal policies and procedures. Debbie is a member of Northeast Human Resources Association and the Society for Human Resource Management. She received her undergraduate degree in Art History from Brandeis University and an M.B.A. from Simmons University of Management.

Outside of the office Deb can be found cheering on the Red Sox with her son and daughter, catching up on the stats with sports radio, reading books from independent bookstores, and counting down the days to her annual summer escape to Long Beach Island on the New Jersey Shore.
