Michele Messori
Debby is a rare mix of talents where Asian roots meet with European business education, She stands out for her ability to deliver and simplify complex tasks with precision of time and detailed execution. I hired Debby for the position of Sales Manager APAC at Eastpak, a VF Corp brand. She was part of my team for more than two years, collaborating on several plans and helping us to develop our distribution in the region. Debby was able to deliver cross functional projects overcoming long distances and cultural barriers, bringing a dramatic increase in the quality of the execution of our go to market in Asia. No matter how far and long we were travelling and working , Debby was always present and a great contributor. As a team member or a leader, Debby deserves my highest recommendation.

I had almost 2 years working together with Debby at VF and she was one of the best managers that I ever had there. She was a great communicator who was sincere and consistent in both actions and words. She put her heart and soul into the job, inspiring people with her never-ending source of energy and passion. Debby never stepped back from challenges and ultimately managed to find a way to overcome any obstacles, that had influenced the team in a very positive way. As a young and motivational manager, Debby really cared about setting her people up for success. She was always willing to provide the team members not only guidance in need but also autonomy and trust to grow
