Debbie Howard is a former caregiver who served as both long-distance and live-in caregiver during her mom’s drying days in South Carolina ... while running her Tokyo- based market research consultancy.

With the launch of Aging Matters International (AMI), Debbie brought her market research acumen to the world of caregiving. Her first book (The Caregiving Journey: Information. Guidance. Inspiration.) helps individuals manage their caregiving situations with more ease and grace.

Her second book (The Caregiving Crisis: What It Costs Your Business and How to Fix It) – just released – helps companies with practical ways to support employee caregivers.
