About Douglas Nehls

After serving as a Marine Corps infantryman for 23 years, I retired and transitioned to the private sector. I began working in the pharmaceutical industry, initially developing budgets for proposals and contracts, and then processing change orders to existing studies. I use the communication, reasoning, and leadership skills I aquired in the military in multiple facets as I build multi-million dollar operating budgets for clinical trials- coordinating input from highly educated team members from across the globe.
