Directors
Debi O'Donovan
I’m Debi and I co-founded REBA in 2015, where I am a director. I enjoy sharing insights, data and information about employee benefits and pay via articles, research, guides and videos because I believe it helps so many employees receive better reward packages than they would if REBA didn’t distribute this knowledge. REBA has a great community and it makes my work fun to talk to the wide variety of people working in reward and benefits through our events, both large and small.
