Denise Drace-Brownell has a B.S. from the University of Illinois, J.D. from Rutgers University with study at the University of Pennsylvania, and MPH from Columbia University.[1] She is also the CEO and Founder of DDB Technology,[1][2] and has served in the M&A unit of Akzo Nobel.[3][4] She also served as the Executive Director of the Northeast Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact Commission during the 1980s, a northeastern governmental compact formed between the states of New Jersey and Connecticut.[5][6]

Books[]

She is the co-author of The First Nazi: Erich Ludendorff, the Man Who Made Hitler Possible, written with co-author Will Brownell.[7] The book follows the historical life of Erich Ludendorff, and focuses on his dictator-style leadership in Germany during and after the First World War.[8] Their focus on Ludendorff’s anti-Semitism describes how his career prepared the Germans psychologically for Nazi rule,[9] and on decisions such as allowing Vladimir Lenin to return to Russia from exile in Switzerland.[10] Kirkus Reviews said of the book that, "Despite a dearth of material, the authors deliver a chilling, well-researched biography that opens a whole new window on the world wars and the German psyche at the time."[11] The book has been translated into German, Italian, Chinese[12] and Czech.[13]

Personal life[]

Drace-Brownell’s struggle with, and treatment of, binocular vision dysfunction was the subject of an article by Lambeth Hochwald, which appeared in Reader's Digest.[14] She developed a form of eye glasses that can help with the disorder.[15]
