TRISH DEBERRY

PRESIDENT AND CEO

Trish– aka Captain Marvel – believes that superheroes come in all shapes and sizes. With her intellect and a passion for making a difference, there is no doubt that Trish is built for speed and performance to find solutions to problems most find too vexing to conquer.Ā  In fact, a Lamborghini has nothing on this force of nature.

A native San Antonian with a degree from TrinityĀ University, Trish has a deep and abiding love for the Alamo City. She has ledĀ successful campaign initiatives for 25 years that have literally changed theĀ landscape and face of the community.

Though Trish doesnā€™t have the ability to see the future like Captain Marvel, she has been called a visionary and wants to bring big ideas to bear regarding the future of downtown.

Before Trish became President/CEO of Centro San Antonio, she founded two full-service marketing and communications firms that she led for 20 years – both of which were headquartered in downtown.Ā  She was also an active member of Centro during that time serving as board chair twice and providing leadership as the entity transformed from The Downtown Alliance to Centro San Antonio.Ā 

When Trish isnā€™t blazing trails throughout the urban core, she is honing her superpowers of strength and agility on a bike at a spin studio – on pace for a remarkable 1,200 rides. We told you she was built for record-setting speed!Ā  Sheā€™s also a supermom to her two kids Scott and Maddie who provide the fuel to her sparkle and non-stop energy.Ā
