HerStory: Debbie Fair, Director of Operations

When did you join Campos Inc?  1997  

What brought you to Campos Inc?
 
I was ready for what was next for me professionally, and answered an ad for a position at Campos Inc.  During my interview, the hiring consultant got a call for an excel report, and she asked me if I knew how to do it, because she did not! Jumping in on the spot whenever you’re needed got me the job. And I came to learn it’s something that’s key here, and that’s why we’re such a strong team.

Do you remember your earliest project?  Not a project, exactly, but 
I sailed through 3 random audits in my first year!

Tell us a good story from your early days at Campos Inc.  
We were working on a beer slogan testing project within my first few weeks on the job, and everybody pitched in to go to local bars and ask customers to vote on slogans.  I (the new girl!) ended up with more responses than anyone else due to my social butterfly nature, and despite not having free samples that everyone asked for all night!  It was fun to see the results of our work turn up everywhere in the client’s new campaign later on.  I also hired an assistant once who had the same last name as me (no, no nepotism!) causing a little confusion in the office for awhile.
