Summary
Michael Douglas is a principal-level technology and business leader with eight years of hands-on backend (and occasional full-stack) engineering experience combined with extensive strategy and operational leadership. He has repeatedly bridged technical fluency and commercial decision-making—running FP&A for a $250M/year platform, leading post-merger integration work, and stepping in as CEO to execute a sharp pivot and cost reduction under extreme pressure. Comfortable jumping into sales, recruiting, product, or data engineering, he builds models and automated data feeds that inform contract negotiations and go-to-market strategy. His background blends Wharton MBA rigor with a Masters in Computer Information Technology, giving him both quantitative and engineering sensibilities. Based in Atlanta, he now applies that cross-functional toolkit at BCG, helping scale technology companies through pragmatic strategy and execution. Not obvious from titles alone: he specializes in turning fragmented data into unit-economic models that directly change commercial outcomes.
