I want to change the world.
Pickie and my own company-- PlumAlley.co

Moved by her strong desire to see women achieve success through the
founding of companies, Deborah Jackson is the Founder and CEO of

Deborah earned her MBA from Columbia Business School in 1980 and began
her career at Goldman Sachs as an investment banker. Before she

In early 2011, she founded JumpThru, a for-profit company whose purpose is to encourage more women to use and build technology. JumpThru launched platforms such as: Blue Glue, a white label private social network: and My Tech Letter, a subscription based letter focused on women in technology.
For the past 10 years, Deborah has been active in early stage
