Vice President of Sales
Doug was most recently Vice President of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) at SAP Business Objects. In 2000 Doug joined Firstlogic, Inc. where he helped solidify their ability to compete in the data quality space as they branched out from their postal heritage. While at Firstlogic Doug also created and built their Federal Division as the company began to realize verticalization was essential in this space. In 2006 Firstlogic was bought by Business Objects, Inc. and Doug stayed on to manage their vertical business for data quality, data integration, data federation and metadata management. Under Doug’s leadership those verticals (Telco, CPG/Retail, Government, Finance) flourished as Business Objects began to emerge as leaders not just in data quality, but also in data integration.
Early in 2008 SAP purchased Business Objects and Doug ran the North American sales business for all of the EIM business. During this time the Master Data Management (MDM) suite was added to complete the vision, view and message that SAP Business Objects was delivering to the market. During 2008, under his leadership, this business grew 50% over 2007 revenues.
Doug’s prior background and 12 years at Dun & Bradstreet where data quality, data modeling, creating custom scorecards in credit, supply chain and finance related businesses was a launching pad for the past 9 years as this industry has continued to evolve and mature. His understanding of data, the processes and lifecycle of information from an IT and Business view have helped him lead many teams to performance excellence.
Doug holds two bachelor degrees from Millersville University, English & Economics with specialties in Linguistics and International Economics. Along with his wife and two sons, he resides in Lancaster, PA where he coaches basketball, enjoys boating and traveling.
