HOW TO BEAT THE ODDS
o On growth – ‘Even in better times, at least 75% of startups fail; only 6% grew to $10 million. Fewer than 2% hit $50 million.’*
o On family continuity– ‘75% do not transition to the 2nd generation. Less than 1% survive past the 3rd generation.’

“Deborah has an amazing ability to process a tremendous amount of data within a business and then distill that information into clear ideas that can pin point key issues and tactics that need to be implemented within your organization. She is an exceptionally articulate person who possesses solid industry insight along with a deep understanding of family owned wineries and the challenges they face. I would recommend her as a key resource to any growing winery business seeking to manage transition and improve performance.”
Tony Stewart, CEO, BACAS FAMILY ESTATES
DIVERSE WORK EXAMPLES

flow by factor of 5 in 4 years. Owners sell 10 years later for a large multiple.

• Post acquisition integration. Simplified team structure, less silos and transparent communications drive faster results, more accountability and motivated execution.
• Bottom line growth. Situation assessment, financial scenarios and expert guidance enable spin off of non profitable, non core operations.
• Interim CMO for diversified consumer portfolio. Led cross-functional, national and international teams through planning process driving 25% growth for five brands.
