Debbi Fields is the founder and former chairperson of Mrs. Fields Cookies, a $500 million company.

At age 20 and without any business experience, Debbi convinced a bank to finance an unproven business concept that appeared to have little likelihood of success.

On August 16, 1977, Mrs. Fields Chocolate Chippery opened its doors to the public in Palo Alto, California. Over the years, Debbi’s role expanded from managing one shop to supervising operations, brand-name management, public relations and product development of the company’s 900-plus company-owned and franchised stores around the United States and 11 countries. Debbi is the author of her autobiography “One Smart Cookie: How a Housewife’s Chocolate Chip Recipe Turned into a Multimillion-Dollar Business: The Story of Mrs. Fields Cookies”. We’re delighted to have Mrs. Fields inaugurating our new lecture series!
This lecture was made possible through the Fran and Warren Rupp Foundation's Renaissance Education Outreach Grant. 
The Renaissance is also partnering with the Women's Fund of the Richland County Foundation for this lecture.  The Women's Fund promotes women's philanthropy  to provide resources for women.
