Summary
I have fun with numbers.
Give me data and I will play with it, rearrange it, process it and finally present it in a way that reveals new insights to the problems it represents. I can take files of data and after analysis, distill the insight into a few simple graphs that will make you want to say, "Now why couldn't we see that?"
I can model just about anything. I started modeling with Excel 2.0 for Mac and have developed spreadsheets from scratch to solve engineering and financial problems in several industries for almost twenty years. Don't hesitate to contact me with an unusual request. You'd be surprised at the variety of things I've been exposed to.
With a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA, I have been trained to take action as well. After discovering the insight, I can also develop a course of action in response.
Analyse; Communicate; Act. That's the recipe to address just about every problem you face; it's the process that I can provide you.

About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Number of Employees: 1
My name is Doug.
After a 9-year career as an engineer building and fixing chemical plants, I went back to business school so that I could learn how to build and fix businesses.
I've seen business from many angles - big and little companies, public and private, manager and individual contributor. I've presented to a CEO as well as to groups of laborors. I've worked in a half dozen countries.
I enjoy applying the skills, experiences and insights acquired from that rich and diverse background to helping others.
