Prior to joining Boyden, Doug was Senior Partner in a boutique executive search firm and specialized in Consumer Goods, Retail, and Industrial. Doug has partnered with clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies to much smaller public and private companies, recruiting for a broad range of assignments in general management, marketing, sales, and operational roles. Prior to entering the executive search profession, Doug spent more than 25 years in general management, sales, marketing and operations at Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo (Taco Bell), New World Pasta Company (formerly Hershey Pasta) and Imperial Sugar.

Doug’s search experience has included C-level roles for middle market and smaller, closely held businesses as well as VP and Director-level positions for much larger, blue-chip Fortune-50 companies in B-to-B and B-to-C.

Doug brings to his search practice over two and a half decades of broad-based experience and knowledge, fresh industry contacts and perspective, and sensitivity to the needs of both clients and candidates. Doug personally leads each of his searches with a “hands-on” approach that has resulted in search delivery and completion well above the industry norm.
