She was the Founder and CEO of Love Home Swap, sold to Wyndham Destination Networks for $53m in July 2017.

As co-founder and chairperson of AllBright, Debbie, along with her co-founder Anna Jones (former CEO of Hearst), aims to close the gender-based funding gap that currently prevents many women from launching and succeeding with their business ideas. AllBright combines Members’ clubs, an Academy to help women build their skills, confidence and network and a live events programme.

Debbie led the independent government review of the Sharing Economy and was the Founding Chair of Sharing Economy UK. She sits on the Mayor of London’s Business Advisory Board and was shortlisted for the City AM 2017 ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’.

Hailing from a family of female entrepreneurs, her entrepreneurial journey started at the age of 25 when Debbie launched her first company Mantra, a marketing consultancy, later sold to Loewy Group in 2009.

Debbie was awarded an OBE for services to business in 2017, and was named Entrepreneur of the Year at the Evening Standard Business awards 2018. She graduated with an MA in Philosophy and Theology from New College, Oxford.
