Deb has broad and deep knowledge of the geographic markets he serves and the technology products that his team sells into them. He is also a highly respected leader who maintains a focused but fun working environment. Deb's group is professional, knowledgeable and "team" focused. I thoroughly enjoyed supporting Deb's organization and would be glad to work with him or any member of his team again.” October 21, 2008

“I've known Deb Dutta to be a passionate and motivated leader of sales. He has that rare ability to focus single mindedly on revenue goals and attain difficult sales targets without loosing composure or good will towards fellow team members. He has the gift of relating well to resellers and has created a large network of resellers who would work with him regardless of which technology or product he has to offer..” October 21, 2008

Over the past decade, he has built the regional business from a start-up situation to a sustainable one with USD300million in annum revenue. Deb is well referenced as a charismatic leader who leads by example and is extremely sharp when it comes to business issues. He is widely sought after for his advices on macro economic/business climate and a solid coach for personal growth & work-life development tips!
In person, Deb comes across as mature, deliberate and amicable executive. With a spirited and extroverted personality, Deb is a lively and interesting conversationalist. He is also very intelligent and constantly exudes drive & passion.

In my role, I stay abreast of the macro-economic changes, social changes, and business trends that result from the intersection of these forces. It is necessary to discuss this with someone who can use it to draw useful conclusions. Deb Dutta is the person that I do this with and for more reasons than his position as the Brocade AP/J Regional Vice President. I do this because he has made the commitment to continuing education and leadership training for himself and for others. He is a voracious reader, capable of sensing the changes that are shaping the world acting on them. I believe that the work that Deb is doing will be a major asset to students, professionals and business leaders and would encourage those who share the same commitments to making a brighter future by educating the leaders of tomorrow.

Deb is one business leader who is able to switch seamlessly between being macro in outlook and getting down into the trenches to drive the ground objectives. His up-to-date awareness, understanding and opinions of business trends and tapestry are admirable. Yet from a vantage point, he is able to translate/interpret that macro-economic perspective into what is applicable, practical and realistic at the execution level. Despite his knowledge of the obvious (via available data), he frequently challenges the status quo and encourages out-of-the box resolutions. His mental maturity beyond his years, courage and willingness to impart are amongst the most invaluable leadership characteristics he possesses. A thought leader in every respect, I often feel blessed to be working with a walking “business guru” and “leadership Wikipedia”….
