In 2004, Debra took a 3,000 mile leap of faith and moved to Seattle from the northeast to help launch Theo Chocolate. With her background as a strategic brand and cause-related marketing consultant, Debra has created a business model that demonstrates the intersection of artisan chocolate making and sustainable business practices. Over the years, she has helped Theo become the fastest growing brand in its category (natural and Organic chocolate) nationally, while showing chocolate-lovers how Organic, Fair Trade chocolate can positively impact the world. Theo’s brand values reflect Debra’s own core belief that doing well in the world is inextricably linked with doing good.The long-awaited Theo Chocolate Cookbook is Debra's first published writing.
