Deborah Janz is a seasoned marketing strategist and consultant with a deep-seated passion for education and international culture. With over two decades of experience, she has honed her expertise in crafting strategic, actionable marketing plans specifically tailored for the education sector. She founded the first agency to specialize in international education, IMPACT Marketing International, Inc., and led as the CEO for 17 years, from 2009 to 2024.
Deborah has facilitated marketing workshops globally, sharing her knowledge at education conferences and with school teams in cities like Bangkok, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Krakow, Brussels, and Dar es Salaam. Her ability to foster collaborative discussions with school marketing, communications, and admissions professionals has been pivotal in helping schools identify their unique traits and develop strategies that resonate with international families and faculty.
Deborah is continuing her educational journey with an executive MBA. Her focus is on the evolution of dynamic work cultures, a topic inspired by her extensive interactions with international schools. This academic pursuit has further solidified her business acumen and leadership skills, enriching her consulting practice.
At the heart of Deborah's approach is a commitment to human-centric strategies, a philosophy that is now the cornerstone of her consulting firm, Human 2 Human School Solutions (H2H). This new venture is a testament to her dedication to working closely with schools, helping them excel in enrollment, thought leadership, and recruitment.
Deborah's personal interests deeply align with her professional focus. Her early career in the travel industry sparked a lifelong passion for exploring diverse cultures. Her adventures have taken her to the Galapagos Islands for SCUBA diving, the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, and the historic expanse of the Great Wall of China.
Now, with H2H School Solutions, Deborah is excited to offer her wealth of knowledge and experience to a select group of schools for bespoke projects or partnering with them as an integral team member to achieve their strategic goals. Her vision is to empower schools to stand out in the competitive international educational landscape, ensuring they are recognized for their thought leadership and unique attributes.
