Deb Stambaugh | CEO & Founder

I’m Deb Stambaugh — a former B2B CMO and enterprise growth exec turned no-BS consultant. Leading teams and delivering impact for over two decades at IBM, SAP, R4, Samsung, and Quantcast, I’ve scaled brands from startup to global, built new categories, and led marketing through M&A. I also serve as a Board Advisor and Incubator Coach, helping early-stage companies accelerate growth.

My expertise lies in integrating core marketing disciplines—demand generation, digital, product, brand, events, and communications—with technology and tools into a cohesive ecosystem that drives growth. My approach is straightforward: what’s best for the business. It’s the principle that has guided me from the start — making tough decisions quickly, cutting through noise, and keeping teams aligned on outcomes.

That mindset drives my work today with founders, CEOs, and private equity firms who need traction, fast. At Brave New World, it’s how we operate across sectors like healthcare tech, media, and supply chain — bringing clarity, speed, and alignment to every decision. Along the way, I’ve shared this perspective as a public speaker and podcast guest, helping leaders see how strategy, tech, and data can fuel growth.
