The principals of Doing Business in Memphis are Deborah L. Camp, the founder and President, and Michael Correll, Vice-President of Marketing and Technology Services.

Ms. Camp has more than twenty-five years experience in corporate, academic, and governmental environments. She has lived and worked in three foreign countries. She started the company and began publishing Doing Business in Memphis after discovering there was no single source of in-depth business information for the Memphis area.
She holds a Master Degree in Urban Anthropology, and is a frequent writer and speaker on the subjects of database marketing, entrepreuralism, time management, starting a business, and other subjects. For a year she hosted an hour-long weekly radio show called "The Small Business Roundtable." She has written articles for Memphis Woman, First Tennessee Bank's Business Review, Phoenix New Times, Memphis Business Journal and Performance Magazine. She has served on numerous boards and committees, and is particularly interested in child advocacy and animal welfare.
 

Michael Correll has an extensive background in sales, marketing, creative design and media. He has previously worked for an Internet company where he supervised and coordinated the activities of 40 other editors around the country. He's also worked in Public Television and Radio where he served as studio manager and wrote, researched and produced public affairs programming.

Mr. Correll speaks on effective sales prospecting and database marketing. For over a year he conducted a monthly forum on Internet usage for the Memphis PC Users Group, for which he also served as a Board Member.

He has also done independent consulting and radio production in some of his areas of interest, including a radio series with the late, nationally recognized wine expert and restaurateur, John Grisanti. Like Ms. Camp, he shares an interest in animal welfare, as well as jazz, the theatre and visual arts.

Doing Business in Memphis is also a long-time member of the Memphis Area Chamber of Commerce, as well as members of Sales and Marketing Executives of Memphis, and the Tennessee Library Association.
