Deborah Chapman Edwards’s Summary

I’m a strategic leader with a strong finance and financial systems background. I leveraged my financial expertise and transitioned from leading teams within a large corporate finance setting to leading small organizations in a general management capacity which resulted in a breadth of experience in the consumer goods, real estate, financial services, industrial and consulting industries.

In addition, I’ve led funding rounds for start-ups and existing businesses with key accountabilities in the areas of business plan development, investment solicitation, and preparing the organization internally for rigorous scrutiny from venture capitalist and lending institutions.

I have a leadership framework rooted in my corporate finance experience, 10 years of which was gained from FP&A leadership roles at Pepsi Bottling Group, balanced with organizational leadership experience in privately and publically held start-up companies. These experiences offered unique challenges that strengthened my leadership abilities.
