Press & Speaking

Media. Events. Podcasts. Panels. Guest Training.

Having featured in leading publications including Wired, The Telegraph (UK), Times Radio and Raconteur; Debbie is always happy to provide press comment or feature in media articles.

I’m Debbie Gainsford, a marketing strategist, coach, and global marketing leader with over 20 years of experience helping B2B businesses grow, scale, and navigate change.

Today, I coach marketers, advise scale-up businesses, and speak about the intersection of strategy, leadership, and transformation, especially in a world being reshaped by AI, changing definitions of success, and the future of work.

If you're looking for a speaker, panelist, guest expert, or quote for an article, you're in the right place. I bring warmth, insight, and a straight-talking approach to everything I do. You can you check out my media features and appearances below.
