INSIGHT. STRATEGY. IMPACT.
ABOUT
DB Strategic Consulting
Better policies lead to better outcomes — for businesses, for communities, and for Albertans. Over the years, we’ve seen how government and business often share the same goals but struggle to speak the same language. We bridge those worlds — translating priorities, aligning interests, and helping ideas move from conversation to action. For us, government relations isn’t about politics; it’s about progress. It’s about connecting people, building trust, and creating the conditions where good ideas can take root and deliver lasting results.

“As a former senior Alberta cabinet minister and now a trusted colleague on the board of WestCan Proton Therapy Inc., Deron brings an uncommon blend of government experience, political acumen, and practical business judgment. Any organization looking for thoughtful, principled, and effective advice on public affairs, regulatory strategy, or economic development in Alberta would be extremely well served by engaging him.”
ENDORSEMENTS
Nathan Cooper
Alberta’s Senior Representative in Washington, DC
“I worked alongside Deron from across the aisle, and what always stood out was the depth of his personal and meaningful relationships — built on credibility, integrity, and genuine respect. He approaches issues with a pragmatic and innovative mindset, consistently focused on solutions rather than partisanship. Deron has a strategic way of thinking that adds real value to every conversation, often helping people see challenges and opportunities from a fresh perspective. He’s a strong communicator, a bridge-builder who can work across political lines, and a steadfast advocate for trade and investment attraction. Alberta is better for his leadership.”
Zach Steele

“Working with Deron has been a tremendous advantage for our company. His credibility and deep, trusted relationships across government have opened doors that would have otherwise remained out of reach. Deron has an exceptional intuition for business development and a real aptitude for strengthening our growth strategy — always collaborative, always focused on outcomes. He has a rare ability to translate between government and industry, communicates with clarity, and consistently identifies opportunities we hadn’t yet seen. Simply put, Deron gets things done.”
