Debbie lived and worked in Japan for 30+ years; she founded Japan Market Resource Network (JMRN) in 1989, merged in 2012 to form CarterJMRN.

Debbie translates consumer research into clear strategic direction for global clients across a wide range of categories (including Age-Tech). She also has served as President and Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ) from 2004~2007, and as President Emeritus (2008~present).

Debbie is also a former caregiver on a mission to change the way the world looks at caregiving so the impacts are not so devastating. Her work focuses on providing companies with support programs for working caregivers to mitigate the related risks of absentee-ism, employee turnover, and extra healthcare costs.

With the launch of AMI and The Caregiving Journey in 2016, Debbie brought her market research acumen to the world of caregiving. 

Her first book (The Caregiving Journey: Information. Guidance. Inspiration.) targets individuals and goes far beyond the basics of logistics, wills and funeral plans.

Her second book (Finding Hidden Profits: Unleash Rewards by Supporting Your Caregiving Employees) is due out in December 2021, and targets companies with practical ways forward in terms of supporting their employees who also serve as caregivers.

Rick Shapiro - President & CEO of The Wheatley Group. Author of the book Hope Never Dies. 

Rick is a former practicing attorney, is a leading consultant and researcher in the field of safe, evidence-based, integrative and complementary cancer treatments. His commitment to inform people of cutting-edge therapies, that are saving lives and enhancing quality of life beyond statistical norms, brings real HOPE to people afflicted with late-stage and terminal cancer prognoses. 

As a passionate advocate, Mr. Shapiro collaborates with internationally renowned cancer specialists. He has consulted with, and coached, patients throughout the United States and all over the world. Mr. Shapiro has interviewed hundreds of people who have thwarted dire metastatic cancer challenges, and who are enjoying life, 10, 15 and 25+ years, later. He is a member of numerous cancer associations, and a Board Member of two national non-profits that are dedicated to spreading the word about the profound value of evidence-based, integrative and complementary cancer treatments.
