Deb spearheads ICT strategies that Fortune 500 companies use to navigate their most difficult moments – mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, disputes, and sudden regulatory change. She is brought in when compliance is uncertain, contracts are a mess, or a dispute is about to get very expensive.

Recent work includes building short and long-term ICT strategies for a Global Fortune 100 and a Global Fortune 250 financial institution, respectively, to support and optimize IT infrastructure and to reduce and validate IT spend; advising a Global Fortune 150 retailer dealing with unexpected compliance obligations from a prior acquisition; helping a travel subsidiary of a Fortune 200 company avoid a proposed $1 million payment in a high stakes dispute; and guiding one of Wisconsin’s largest healthcare systems as it moves to a cloud based ERP solution. She regularly counsels Fortune 500 healthcare, financial, and retail companies through post-acquisition integrations, contract overhauls, and vendor M&A events, with a focus on turning risk into leverage.

Deb’s practice spans transactional and regulatory ICT work for heavily regulated and global businesses, including SaaS for communications monitoring, cloud based customer systems, and industry leading colocation and data center deals with providers such as Equinix and DRT. She also helps multinational enterprises structure their ICT plans to comply with law, with particular focus on the EU and India.

Deb is recognized in Who’s Who Legal as a Global Leader in Information Technology and in Telecoms, Media & Entertainment, and is known for clear, executive–ready advice that is both commercially practical and ruthlessly focused on risk mitigation.
