I’m Doug 👋

💥 A ‘traditional’ path ended after college. With many interests, I traveled different roads; realized the likes, dislikes, challenged myself to accomplish anything, and gained lifelong skills along the way, knowing I was never handed anything. 

💥 Building genuine relationships, learning new things, being challenged, connecting around business, real estate, investing, SaaS / tech, and  cool startups — all things that get me going professionally. 

💥 Tennis, book shops, local coffee shops, walking trails, perusing quaint towns & enjoying time with my partner and cat is sacred - watching movies and trying to emulate “Chopped” in the kitchen are a close second. 

👉🏼 Previous 5 years ⤵️ 


⭕️ 1000s of clients, multi-six figures in revenue for my own businesses 

⭕️ Partner, Head of Ops/BD in a Sports-tech startup (Think: Booxi or MindBody) in the Hamptons, reaching 7-figures (Exit) 

⭕️ Owner, Consultant & Director of Client Services for Athletic Move LLC - Built entirely through word-of-mouth and referrals, to six-figures 

⭕️ President / Director of Business Development & Operations for a SaaS startup focused on Generative AI, raised $1.8M, raised another ~$1M in LOIs before exiting. 

Currently ⤵️ 

✅ Head Professional, Racquet Sports Operations at Invited Clubs - The Hasentree Club 

What’s next ⤵️ 

👉🏼 I’m open to an AE, Account Manager, Customer Success role in a Pre-seed to Series B org, where I can lean into strengths of building successful relationships early and be part of the growth story. 

“When you put yourself out there, do the right thing, and work hard, good things happen.”
