Who you'll work with

Debra Karrat, founder

Debra launched Yellow Bloom in 2004 after a career at the very top of consumer marketing — as CMO of Coastal One, Director of Marketing for Wella Personal Care of North America, a department leader at L'Oréal USA, and one of the first twenty employees to build Tumi USA.

That background — deep in consumer product goods, across female and male audiences and international markets — is exactly what she now brings to businesses ready to grow. Thorough research and honest competitive analysis are the foundation of every engagement, and the reason her clients find an edge their competitors miss.
