Bio
Deborah Cameron leads OED’s business attraction and retention efforts, directing efforts
across the business development, global business, and workforce development teams. She
oversees a group of approximately 40 staff focused on growing and sustaining Denver
businesses.
Filled for the first time with Cameron’s hiring in June 2018, this role is designed to improve
and maximize the city’s investments in business retention, expansion and workforce
development. With staff recruitment identified as one of the top challenges facing
employers, OED has more closely aligned its business and workforce development
functions. In addition, the role oversees a global business team, focused on increased
trade and partnership opportunities for Denver businesses.
Cameron is an economic development professional with nearly 20 years of experience
working at the state, regional, utility and local level. Prior to joining OED, she built and
marketed the aerospace cluster in South Carolina for the South Carolina Council on
Competitiveness, led business attraction efforts for the Colorado Office of Economic
Development and International Trade, retained and attracted businesses for the
Tennessee Valley Authority, and increased economic development in rural distressed areas
of east Tennessee for the Douglas Cherokee Economic Authority. Cameron began her
economic development career with the Maryland Department of Business and Economic
Development.
She holds an MBA from Johns Hopkins University and an undergraduate degree in
political science from the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
