    Debra Eckersley

    Debra Eckersley

    Debra runs her own advisory (Calaur Advisory) which provides independent, expert, and practical advice to Boards, People & Culture teams and executives on critical people matters, people & change plans and the alignment of strategy, performance & remuneration.


    Deb brings a unique combination of experiences as a former Chief People Officer, trusted external adviser to Boards, and business leader.


    In her time with PwC (to 2018), Deb was widely regarded as one of the top people and remuneration advisers in Australia. After leading PwC’s People & Change consulting practice, the PwC Human Capital team (responsible for the people strategy for around 6,000 people) and being part of PwC Australia’s Executive Board (2012-2016), Deb decided to get ‘real life corporate’ experiences outside a professional services partnership and spent five years (to 2023) at Bank of Queensland (BOQ) as Group Executive, People & Culture.
