ABOUT TERRY DOUGAN
I bridge the gap between bold product strategy and high-velocity engineering execution.My work sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and execution, where strategy becomes real through coordinated delivery. I’m known for aligning priorities across product, engineering, operations, and go-to-market teams; translating strategy into executable plans; establishing lightweight operating rhythms; and helping organizations deliver high-impact initiatives at scale.Over the course of my career I’ve led technical program management, product operations, and portfolio governance functions supporting global technology and product organizations. This has included coordinating enterprise programs, building portfolio prioritization and investment frameworks, and connecting execution with data bringing together product usage insights, portfolio analytics, and operational metrics to give leadership clear visibility into initiative health, investment priorities, and business outcomes. Most recently I led global program management, product operations, and analytics teams supporting large SaaS and data platform portfolios.With hands-on roots as a software developer, tester, DBA, consultant, technology director, and program management leader, I bring a deep understaning of how product and technical teams think and operate. This foundation allows me to serve as a trusted connector: reducing friction, clarifying tradeoffs, driving accountability, and accelerating momentum in high-stakes environments.I’m particularly energized by roles where the objective is to strengthen how organizations execute strategy, whether through enterprise technical program management, product operations leadership, strategic programs, or close partnership with CTO/CPO leadership on complex company initiatives.Let’s connect if you’re building or transforming teams that need to move faster, together.Core StrengthsTechnical Program Management | Enterprise PMO & Portfolio Governance | Product Operations & Operating Cadence | Enterprise Delivery & Portfolio Leadership | Customer-Facing Product & Application Delivery | AI & Platform Program Leadership | Business & Product Usage Analytics | Data-Driven Decision Support | Portfolio Prioritization, Funding & Governance | SDLC Modernization & Execution Predictability | Executive Stakeholder Partnership (CTO / CPO / CFO / CMO)| Financial Planning & Investment Governance | Business & Product Usage Analytics | M&A Technology Integration | Building Strong, Engaged Global Teams
