Debi Baydush

Debi Baydush is the founding principal of BSW Wealth Partners and Outreach Officer. She nutures client relationships and maintains BSW's large professional network. Debi served as the BSW chief investment officer for more 17 years, guiding the firm's investment policy, portfolio construction, and major strategic efforts.

Debi started her financial career with a large private trust company, trained as a broker at Merrill Lynch and subsequently went to work at PaineWebber. Over time, Debi found that what she felt was best for her clients often differed from the company's view, so she quit the brokerage business to manage a group of personal investment portfolios on a fee-only basis - and so the foundation stone for what has become BSW Wealth Partners was laid. As the client base grew, Debi hired people who shared her vision of how to provide investment advice - and who were fun to work with!

When she has the time - away from the business and her three grown children - Debi likes to follow her many passions, including world travel, scuba-diving, dancing, listening to live music, enjoying her network of close friends or just enjoying life in Colorado. Recent trips to Panama, Singapore and Indonesia provided on the ground research opportunities in emerging markets. She has also experimented with hands-on ways to help make the world a better place, including building a four-apartment complex in Katy Wroclaw (Poland) with Habitat for Humanity.

Debi is named one of 2010's Remarkable Women by the Boulder County Business Report
The Enterprise award "recognizes a woman who has demonstrated the core values of entrepreneurship, including risk-taking, innovation, and the ability to overcome obstacles."
