Doug started his
business career in a sporting goods store in
Pittsburgh. He started his consulting career
in the early 80's with a well known search
firm in Los Angeles and started Sawyer TMS
several years later. Early clients included
Japanese Banks and manufacturing companies
in need of executive leadership.
For most of the 90's he lived and worked in
Japan and created a global recruitment
function for a firm with offices in Osaka
and Tokyo. This experience was the basis for
his international executive search practice
which thrives today. Upon returning from
Japan, Doug did consulting engagements for a
variety of manufacturing firms whose chaotic
growth launched projects in talent management
and included work in succession planning,
benchmarking, managing conflict, organizational development, and
staffing.
Doug was afforded the opportunity to create
a first ever corporate staffing function for
a 100 year old insurance company. He put
strategies in place that lead to the
development of a full blown internal
consultancy that served more than 30
business units in the US and Canada. His
staff went on to make more than 200
executive placements annually. He also
created the company's first Diverse
Workforce strategy which is the basis for
the company's current function. He negotiated
a series of vendor contracts that reeled in
a maverick spend and saved millions while
increasing vendor service levels.
Over the last 12 years, Doug has worked with
a number of diversity staffing initiatives
for major retailers. He designed and managed
community outreach programs that linked the
disabled workforce to career opportunities
with great success. These projects became a
launching board for what Doug considers his
passion, leading employers to discover the
special abilities of job seekers with
disabling conditions. Doug has made a
professional commitment to including
employment support for those with
disabilities in his consulting work with
Sawyer TMS. Currently, Doug writes for Say
Special Ability and Talent Manager's Journal
on Word Press and is the creator and editor
of the popular website
StrategicDiversity.com.
Doug is the founder and Executive Director
of Say Special Ability Foundation. An
awareness group that promotes employment
opportunities for those with disabling
conditions.
Doug is a member of the National Board of
Directors of the Sierra Group Foundation's
One More Way project and a past officer of
WEET Las Vegas. WEET is a partnership of
Nevada's Bureau of Vocational
Rehabilitation, The Veteran's
Administration, and private industry in
Nevada. These organizations seek to inform
employers about the special abilities of
those with disabling conditions and works to
reduce the shocking unemployment rate of the
disabled. Doug also actively supports
the workforce re-entry efforts of a group of homeless US
Veterans who are seeking employment
opportunities in Las Vegas and has held more
than 100 Resume
& Interview Coaching Workshops as a way to
give back to the Las Vegas community. Listen
