Sustainability Strategy

"I partnered with Deborah on a major research report several years ago and was duly impressed by her many abilities: to interview a diverse set of stakeholders, synthesize the information, conduct in-depth research, and think strategically about sustainability. Deborah is an all-around great asset who can provide value to any organization, company, or project."

Green Program Development

"Deborah Fleischer: principled, high-energy, productive, focused, knowledgeable, and collegial. She has worn many hats in all three sectors (public, private, and independent) thus she has a broad perspective that is seldom found in a consultant. Personality, professionalism, experience, and demonstrated results--how can she not rise to the top of your list?"

"Deborah brings intelligence and analytic acumen to the often fuzzy field of sustainability. She has the ability to get the the heart of the matter and help others get there as well." July 31, 2008
