Deanna Brown
Six times a chief executive. Thirty-five years. Four exits.
What I am?
An architect. I hold the structure and tell you what I see. You build the plan.
What I am not?
Not a therapist, not a modality holder. Clinical work gets referred out.
Where the depth lives
Substack, the podcast, the writing. The site is the front door, not the library.
