Client Testimonials
“I have worked with many management consultants in my years in the pharmaceutical industry and Ms. Debra Apruzzese is by far one of the best. What makes Debra remarkable is her focus on delivering high impact results using pragmatic and simple approaches. She has a wide repertoire of tools in her tool box; from Complexity Theory to Six Sigma, she can seamlessly bring them together and apply them in a practical manner to solve complex business problems. A masterful facilitator, she has a keen eye for organization and behavioral issues at a team and individual level, any of which can be potential land mines when leading significant change initiatives.”

Vice President of Global Pharmaceutical Company
“Debra led the restructuring of our therapeutic area. Her task was daunting: to unite five silos, generate sound operating principles that everyone could buy into and form a governance body that could effectively manage the portfolio. Four years later the product of her efforts still endure. That's what I call successful change management!”
