An expert in business strategy consulting and the leadership competencies needed to execute that strategy effectively, Dr. Fish brings a wealth of knowledge about corporate leadership to ION. “We are delighted to have Debra join us,” says Rona Wells, President of ION. “Her experience and training strongly round out our group, enhancing ION’s ability to increase the number of women in the upper echelons of corporate leadership.”

Mark Brenner, Chairman of the Global Consulting Partnership, says, “Our firm is excited about the opportunity to support this important endeavor for women. We know from experience that many of the characteristics and skills that are most valuable in the corporate world are ones that women possess innately. Companies with more women in leadership are better prepared for success in today’s marketplace than their competitors with fewer women in top roles.”

tGCP plans to support ION by helping to implement the organization’s strategy for growth and increased influence with those responsible for choosing board candidates. tGCP also hopes to augment ION’s message by publishing research related to the factors involved in the functioning of successful corporate boards. “With Debra serving on the board, tGCP stands ready to work with ION in whatever ways we can,” says Brenner.
