Debbie Beaumont isn't a name known to most pro wrestling fans. However, ECW insider - and current co-owner of PWInsider.com - called her the "unspoken COO" of ECW.
Here is the quote:
Beaumont was in Heyman's inner-most circle, trusted to get talents booked for surprises into town, hidden away and into the buildings. The talent knew that the best way to get a read on what was going down was to talk to Debbie, although her utmost loyalty was always to Heyman. In many ways, she was the unspoken COO of ECW since so much went through her in terms of the day to day operations.

She left the wrestling industry after ECW folded in 2001, and she passed away in 2013.
There aren't many photos of her during her time in ECW, however The Blue Meanie's post on Twitter from 2022 (seen at the top of this post) shows her in the promo room at the Travelodge hotel in Philadelphia with Meanie, Hacky Myers, and Mikey Whipwreck.
Many ECW stars made comments after learning about her passing: https://411mania.com/wrestling/former-ecw-stars-remember-debbie-beaumont/
These include:
Jim Molineaux, former ECW referee: “Just got a call about ECW’s Debbie Beaumont passing away. I am totally floored. Debbie & I rode together in ECW almost every week. We were at the building early and out late. Debbie wanted to write a book with me, but we drug out feet. Now it will never happen. RIP friend.”
Taz: “I was very sad to learn of the passing of a great lady behind scenes who was great during the ECW years- Debbie Beaumont RIP, and thank u”
She was included briefly in this compilation of ECW behind the scenes video footage:

Finally, going back to the PWinsder article mentioned earlier, Mike Johnson wrote:
On a personal level, I can't say enough wonderful things about the woman. There is no doubt she was absolutely evil if you crossed her, but if she liked you, you were golden. She was order in the chaos that was ECW.
