Debra Horowitz, Co-Founder & Partner
Debra expertly counsels both clients and candidates to ensure rapid delivery of outstanding HR talent to Fortune clients throughout the US and Canada. Debra is well-known in the industry for a style that is warm, yet professional, and her willingness to spend quality time with both clients and candidates. That style dovetails perfectly with the humanistic staffing model that forms the “heart” of Continuiti’s business, and thus Debra emphasizes: fair, transparent billing practices, a credo of mutual respect, and ultimately, the formation of long-lasting, mutually beneficial business relationships.
With a prior career as a corporate banker, Debra joined the staffing industry at a well-known NYC retained search firm, where she recruited executive-level finance and capital markets professionals for Wall Street. She concurrently built a desk of top-tier clients including large investment banks and commercial banks as well as smaller niche financial firms such as Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) boutiques. She then led and managed the recruiting effort at a firm which specialized in placing HR professionals for contract and permanent assignments with Fortune 500 and emerging growth corporations. Drawing upon her business development skills and established personal network, she also expanded the firm’s Fortune clientele.
Despite her successes, throughout her career, Debra often thought: there’s a much better way to run this business. She soon joined forces with a like-minded partner, Regina McGuire, and Continuiti’s unique business model was launched. National recognition quickly followed as the firm garnered top awards from entities like Inc. Magazine, Women’s Enterprise Magazine, and Diversitybusiness.com.
Debra is an Honors graduate of the University of Michigan. Upon graduation, she then completed Nat West's prestigious credit training program.
