“Digital Diva", "...an intelligent and bright articulator who makes the complex simple" Steve Hyde, Chairman the REC - Marketing, Media and Creative “

“.. enterprising and an original thinker", Professor Rosenberg, then University of London

"... a friendly approachable style that lended itself well to the culture we have here at Three" Jacqueline Harper -Director of Online, Hutchison 3G

Royal Society of Arts

Deborah’s FRSA nomination by an existing fellow: "If any organization is perfect to pair

with Deborah Collier, it is the RSA – she is an original thinker, a pioneer of a positive

vision of the future-human. A celebrator of what digital can achieve for humanity. It all

started delivering tech-support to the MOD in the nineties - as one of the first women in IT.

Deborah is about social development through immersion into the arts, she is about

promoting and pioneering the evolution of socially conscious species through digital.

Everything she talks about, and champions, online or otherwise, is original and disruptive.

Deborah grew up with the arts in her bones, a music producer, a published poet, with many

published articles, and more awaiting publication, primarily focused on futurism, strategic

education, business leadership, commerce and digital. Deborah is about what she can give

the people of an increasingly aware world, what legacy can she generate through her

influence. It is no surprise that she is a member of MENSA – not for her own personal

development but to support their remit: a society which "aims to identify and foster human

intelligence for the benefit of humanity".
