Testimonials

"Debra Pauli is a high-energy problem solver, bringing her superior analytical skills and drive for results to many complex situations.

We were colleagues at Oxford Industries (NYSE), she as Controller, I as Vice-President of Human Resources. Her direct involvement in human resources challenges such as healthcare costs, and Workers' Compensation resulted in dramatic savings to the corporation, while maintaining effective benefits for thousands of employees in multiple states and countries.

She was also a leader in the corporate due-diligence team for mergers and acquisitions, (M&A) providing excellent insights not only in the financial area, but other areas as well.

Seeing her effectiveness in the above-mentioned areas is a conclusive indication that her qualifications would extend to any financial area and beyond. Herb Kraft, Partner, Higher Ground Associates" November 14, 2009
