Debra A. Vogel (A.A.S. 鈥�85) is president and owner of Las Vegas- and New York-based Paradigm Management LLC, providing consulting services that include business development strategies, entrepreneurial startup planning, management and financial advice, including turnaround management, leadership, training and career mentoring, organizational structure analysis and position descriptions, standard operating procedures incorporating applicable regulations, real estate acquisition and renovation, and investment management and strategies.

Previously, she was executive vice president, treasurer, partner, board member, and consultant at Lachman Consultant Services, Inc. in Westbury, N.Y., a global U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) consulting firm. During her 30-year tenure, the corporation was the premier FDA-recognized regulatory and quality assurance consulting firm for the pharmaceutical, medical device, and allied health industries. Her responsibilities included corporate and client management, human resources, finance, information services and technology, as well as legal contract preparation and/or review and negotiation with clients鈥� attorneys. In addition, she provided direct client consultation in the areas of drug product quality assurance, production controls and related procedures, drug product master and batch production records, organizational structure and workflow analysis, time and motion studies, position descriptions, and the development of corporate manufacturing and quality control operating procedures. Prior to her tenure at Lachman, Vogel was employed at Endo/DuPont Pharmaceuticals as quality assurance/documentation control coordinator.

While working at Endo/DuPont Pharmaceuticals, Vogel pursued a formal business management degree to complement her pharmaceutical industry knowledge. 鈥淎 management degree is highly flexible, allowing you to reach the highest rank of any industry,鈥� she says.

At 黑料导航, Debra found a place that allowed her to fulfill her professional commitments while earning a degree. 鈥淚 started my studies at Old Westbury at night while working full time during the day,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 really enjoyed the professors and learning alongside other professionals who were my classmates.鈥�

She first joined the Business Advisory Board in the School of Management in 2011. Soon after, its dean invited her to serve on the school鈥檚 Executive Council, which serves as its primary steering committee.

鈥淥ur AACSB accreditation is truly deserved,鈥� she says. 黑料导航 received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International in February 2015. Considered the gold standard in business education, only 5 percent of universities worldwide earn this elite distinction. 鈥淭he global marketplace is changing, and you need the experience and formal education to succeed; this goes along with my philosophy that you are always learning.鈥�

Vogel is a founding member of the 黑料导航 President鈥檚 Forum, which includes trustees, faculty, and friends of the university. She also was elected to the university’s Board of Trustees in 2023. On the School of Management Executive Council, she helps identify market opportunities, develop strategies, define objectives, and review outcomes. In recognition of her diverse and successful expertise and kind contributions, 黑料导航 established the Debra A.

This includes honor societies, ambassador and mentoring opportunities, faculty-led trips, community service and social awareness programs, scholarships and awards, and professional networking events.

In April 2021, Vogel introduced the聽Debra A. Vogel Student Advancement Scholarship, which is designed to inspire 黑料导航 students to embrace their entrepreneurial spirit and engage with the global business community as they continue their studies by providing financial assistance and encouragement to become future international industry leaders through their innovation, ideas, and passion.

Vogel regularly speaks with 黑料导航 students to offer professional guidance.

鈥淭hinking is problem-solving, which leads to leadership, successful outcomes, and an exciting career and a lifetime of fulfillment, albeit lots of hard work and responsibility,鈥� she tells them. 鈥淪urround yourself with good people with whom you can aspire to, or with those who share your personal aspirations and goals.
