Debra Wolfe is a highly skilled telecommunications market researcher, specializing in small business and consumer market research for new service and product development. She excels at both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, which are exemplified in her focus group moderation and survey design that get to the heart of a research problem. In addition, Debra successfully leads service trials, testing new products and services with potential customers before they hit the market. Her hands-on experience with the services and repeated direct contact with trial participants is just one example of her ability to become totally involved in her work while retaining complete objectivity. Debra is also very capable at integrating both the analytical and business issues of the data she explores to provide a complete view of the data in a context appropriate to a project's research needs. Her work has ranged from emerging technologies to innovations for existing services, such as PCS, Cellular, Wireless PDAs, Voice Input Technologies, Facsimile, and MTRS.

In addition to her 13 years of research work, Debra is actively involved in the small business market place. She has participated in her family's thriving small service business most of her life, and has been a part of a small retail business for the past year. This direct involvement provides Debra with an experienced-based view of real issues and challenges facing small businesses on a daily basis, how issues and concerns change over time, and the way decisions are made in the real world - an understanding and knowledge that cannot be obtained by merely observing small businesses for short periods of time. Debra's focus groups, questionnaires, analysis, and reports reflect this experience. Professional and academic experience includes:
