About Deborah M.

I am a highly experienced Risk and Compliance Program Management Leader with proven ability to collaborate with all levels of an organization. Adept in ability to strategically build or redesign programs and processes across multiple departments with a focus on risk mitigation and sustainable solutions that reduce cost, remove redundancies, improve performance, and drive engagement. Skilled at proactively identifying or anticipating problems and providing solutions. Multiplies impact through mentoring, training, and empowering team to excel in performance. I have an extensive background in project management leading large scale, enterprise wide implementations. My diversity of experience allows me to adapt to any new business and interact across the organization in collaboration with all levels of partners. Signature programs have ranged from leading strategic product risk management programs, implementing complex customer facing segmentation initiatives, building reporting, analytics, and customer experience programs from scratch, and collaborating with IT developers to create a robust recognition program for over team members to utilize. I love to support non-profit organizations through volunteering and am an annual supporter – as crew and walker - with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s 3-day, 50-mile challenge walk.
