See Deb’s resume posted on LinkedIn for more details.
The successful relocation of executives and staff of GMAC Mortgage from 5 buildings with multiple floors to a 500,000sf campus was a team effort for which Deb was primarily responsible for database development (pre-CAFM) for tracking staff and equipment by cost center, relocation management including coordination of IT/Telecom and support teams. Upwards of 200 people (and associated personal/departmental files and equipment) per move over many weekends for many months as buildout of the new campus was completed in phases meant staff left their old location on Friday and arrived at their new location miles away on Monday with no downtime. Subsequent to the final relocation, over several years Deb managed multiple GMAC corporate real estate sites/business units for move/add/change and interior upfit modifications as business unit needs evolved, including the launch of the Ally Financial business unit.
Early in her career Deb served as project manager/designer and architectural/design representative in the office furniture industry .
In the Carolinas Deb has consistently supported contractor and subcontractor design and specification requirements since 2011.
She is a Six Sigma Green Belt
NCIDQ Certified Interior Designer 18608 (2003)
