At Bell Labs, she created one of AT&T’s highest-revenue generating patents that we all take for granted today. Deb’s articles in Harvard Business Review, her blog and contributions to various business books aim to inspire people and companies to dream what they can achieve, giving them tools to make it happen. Deb fosters innovation and growth via her strategy and innovation consulting with mid to large-sized privately held companies, her partnership in an early-stage VC firm, and with her student entrepreneurs. Deb’s official positions at Brown University include being the university’s Mentoring Maven, Adjunct Lecturer, Member of the School of Engineering Advisory Council, Mentor for the joint Brown University/Rhode Island School of Design’s Masters in Design Engineering, member of the student-run Van Wickle Ventures Investment Committee and advisor to several student design and entrepreneurship groups. She is also a mentor in the Maine Center for Entrepreneurship and in Northeastern University’s Roux Institute’s Founder in Residence program.
