Deb Dietz is the Founder and CEO of SMB Value Partners, where she leads the lifelong learning company that supports individuals across the entire "Circle of Life," from the beginning of their journey to the end.
SMB is a fierce advocate for the convergence of Agentic AI, Virtual Reality (VR), and 3D technologies to redefine the educational landscape. By integrating these immersive tools, we aren’t just building online courses; we are creating high-impact, 3D learning environments where students can engage with content in ways never before possible. Through SMB Digital Education and our free streaming app Futee.TV, we distribute these AI-powered, immersive experiences to a global audience.
Connecting Global Markets: Our mission to scale impact extends to the global stage through our five business conferences: VC LatinX, VC EuropeX, VC MEAX, VC APAX, and the BRICS Marketplace Conference. We also leverage digital media to spark critical conversations as the host of four television shows on Futee.TV and Roku TV: Ask Deb About Business, Ask Deb About Health, Hearts of Character, and Faith Illuminated.
