Debbie Wosskow OBE is recognized as one of the most prominent serial entrepreneurs in the UK. She is the current London Evening Standard ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ - awarded to her for her work in scaling businesses, and her successful exit from Love Home Swap, the business she founded and sold to Wyndham Destination Networks for $53m in July 2017.

She is the author of a book to be released in 2019, and published by Penguin - ‘Believe, Build, Become. Supercharge your career’.

AllBright combines Members’ clubs and an Academy to help women build their skills, confidence and network.
Debbie is opening AllBright Clubs in Mayfair and Los Angeles in 2019, following the successful opening of The AllBright Rathbone on International Women’s Day in 2018.
