About Douglas Charles
My career has been built around enterprise transformation. For 30+ years, I have been fortunate enough to work with some of the worlds largest and most complex organizations. Some have been in a turnaround situation, some have been looking to spark growth, others to rebuild culture and/or to drive cost efficiencies. The common thread in all, however, is that they needed to rethink their direction and operations. In other words, how they could mobilize their organization to transform their businesses results. I feel privileged to have had such a unique and comprehensive range of experiences. At University, I studied Computer and Electrical engineering and Business Administration, and I still have that data-driven mindset to solving client problems. At Korn Ferry, I lead a global team of experts that deliver innovative, cutting edge, and end-to-end solutions. I know of no other consulting organization that brings so many capabilities together to plan, select, build, motivate, develop and inspire a workforce.
