"Wherever you're going to be investing, there's going to be a different tempo and it's not about imposing my tempo onto a culture, but learning to work with the culture.- Deborah Razo

She has presented numerous times at my FIBI Pasadena meeting and holds an annual event called Ignite Your Fire Within.
