Questrom is a senior adviser to Lee Equity Partners L.L.C., the private equity group that purchased Deb Shops.

Lee is now receiving investment support from Prospect Capital Corp., a New York business development company, which said it has made a $15 million second lien secured debt investment in Deb Shops.

Questrom was CEO at Cincinnati-based Federated from 1990 to 1997. Federated became Macys Inc. in May.
