Hi, I'm Douglas

I have worked for last 19 years in Sales covering a vast array of sectors, technologies and services. Throughout I have held many roles - leading teams of sales and presales people, focused on customer strategy and outcomes.

More recently I have been working with the Scottish Chamber of Commerce, mentoring small businesses and helping them position their services in different ways, or into new markets.

I believe in putting the customer first and love helping people and businesses achieve this. If you are keen to change your approach, or want to soundboard new go-to-market initiatives, I would love to help you make it a reality.

Equally, if you are thinking of a career in Sales or change in roles - happy to share an alternative perspective and insight.
