Bio
Donald Birnie
I had the pleasure to work with Doug over a period spanning almost 5 years and in that time I had the opportunity to support his engaging and professional approach in problem solving and culture change. Whatever challenges were presented, Doug would logically and methodically approach the task at hand in a way that fostered engagement and accommodated varying opinion to assure success, even spanning cultural differences. Doug is the consummate professional and will be a tremendous asset to any organisation who seeks a level head in the turbulent waters of Operations today and he will settle for nothing short of the desired outcome.

Doug is a focused professional that is an effective leader, manager and technical asset. He has the ability to facilitate and lead groups though any type of discussion, brainstorming or problem solving process, while achieving operational symmetry that’s proven to keep a supply chain moving and production lines up and running. Doug’s attention to detail, compassion for his direct reports, concern for quality and team focused approach makes these difficult tasks seem natural and effortless. I highly recommend Doug for any position or endeavor that he may seek to pursue. He will be a valuable asset for any organization.
