Successful business people have many attributes in common: resourcefulness, motivation and
drive, the ability to lead, self-reliance, and a strong sense of responsibility. Armed with those
traits, Debbie Walker has pursued a career path also marked by inspiring vision, an instinct for
opportunity, and unflagging perseverance.
As an entrepreneur, Walker has founded, and built, four highly profitable companies. As a
management executive, she has achieved notable success in diverse industries: hospitality; event
planning; association management; trade show; cruise and travel; luxury good import/export, and
the film and television production and marketing industries. And in all of these undertakings, she
has exhibited a superior instinct for identifying un-met niche areas and predicting emerging
market trends.
A born marketer with an entrepreneur's energy and insight, Walker brings her experience, her
contacts and her vision to Translucent. Outgoing, friendly and collaborative, Walker began her
business career in the hospitality industry, progressing through the ranks from a reception desk to
Management; experience she then parlayed into forming her own company to fill an industry
need - marketing and sales for independent hotels throughout BC and Washington State.
As the company grew, so did requests for her to expand her business scope. She managed the
Vancouver Campaign Headquarters of the then Prime Minister; planned, organized and
orchestrated a reception for 800 people in a scant three weeks for a joint venture between the
Province of BC and BC Natural Gas and followed this with public-access events in 16
communities within BC over the following six weeks, and organized an International Invitational
Forum in Vancouver for Teleglobe that brought together Presidents and Prime Ministers from
Australia, England, Japan, Canada, and the US to sign agreements to lay the first undersea
telecommunications trunk to connect these countries.
These contracts led to Walker forming an Association Management, Event and Conference
Planning Company, which grew over seven years into a thriving business arranging trade shows,
mounting exhibitions and serving the needs of associations as diverse as the Canadian
Association of Association Executives and the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating. She
sold this company to explore a growing market niche in the cruise ship industry, but after two
years foresaw that the Internet would adversely affect profitability, and turned her attention to the
explosive growth in B.C.'s entertainment industry.
Under Walker, and business associate Brian Hammond, Post-Digital Works Ltd. grew into a
major hi-definition digital production and equipment rental facility with a large staff, revenues in
the millions and clients from around the world. After selling Post-Digital Works to a public
company, Walker pursued her interest in another facet of Entertainment - publicity, talent
marketing, and content production - forming Translucent Film and Video Services Ltd.
