Deborah Ruffins was mentioned in “Big 4 Alumni Are Joining the Legal Industry in Droves. Here's How 3 of Them Landed Top Jobs at Firms Like Mayer Brown, Perkins Coie, and Hogan Lovells,” an article in Business Insider,* regarding her career and switch to Big Law.

Deb said she knew from a young age that she wanted to be a "chief" and that she wanted to be in marketing, but it wasn't until later in her career that she found the right job fit.

After earning a degree in finance, Deb spent nearly 12 years in marketing and business development for Deloitte, PwC, and Accenture. In 2013, she made the switch to Big Law, working at Bingham McCutchen, Hogan Lovells, and now Perkins Coie.
