    Deb Ward, MBA
    Deb leads Redpath and Company’s Performance and Process Optimization Advisory team. She specializes in championing business transformations and process improvement initiatives that start with a focus on back-office functions (i.e., finance, accounting, and payroll) and drive company-wide value across organizations. Her team helps clients improve efficiencies and financial reporting effectiveness, adopt best practices, standardize accounting and payroll processes, clarify roles and responsibilities, optimize structures, and mitigate control risks. This work drives operational performance improvements and is often the foundation for working smarter so that teams have the flexibility for hybrid / remote work and the capacity and energy for professional development and connectivity. Deb joined Redpath and Company in 2021 and offers a hybrid mix of industry leadership and consulting experience in a variety of industries including manufacturing, construction, financial services, and nonprofit.
