With 20+ years of experience building and managing engineering research teams, projects and programs under her belt, DEBORAH SHIFFLETT decided to apply her idiosyncratic sense of humor, creativity, and tenacity to starting conversations about sticky issues, sacred cows, and unchallenged norms. Deborah has a diverse, well informed set of interests that enables her to identify and re-purpose solutions from a wide range of subjects. She is intent on encouraging people to use data and high-quality information to move past myths that serve as barriers to progress, innovation, and change. Deborah lives in Monterey, California with her husband and, occasionally, their 2 college age daughters who come home just long enough to leave a sink full of dirty dishes.
