About Douglas

I am originally from Southern California and my sister, and I were raised by my single mother. There are a lot of things in my life that I did not know where options until someone showed me the way. My Uncle was a West Point graduate and he showed me that career path, amid failing grades and poor life decisions I was able to pivot and gain acceptance into the United States Military Academy. As an Infantry Officer, a mentor of mine showed me what it meant to be a Special Forces Officer aka Green Beret. At the end of the day Green Berets are teachers and that inspired me to attempt the selection process. After being selected and graduating Special Forces training, I served in Stuttgart Germany travelling all over Europe working and training with various country's militaries. During this time a close friend and colleague explained what an MBA degree was, and I thought this would be the way to transition successfully from the military to the civilian sector. Once I was accepted, I kept looking to the future and was successfully able to recruit for McKinsey and Boston Consulting Group during the Pre-MBA recruiting cycle. I am currently attending Harvard Business School and will graduate in 2025.
