Bio
Renaud de Saint André
Douglas is a true international business leader. He has a vision and he puts things into perspective. He does involve his teams and he does empower people but always shows the direction. He has lived and worked in many different countries and business environments. He has a deep understanding of environmental matters and a good sense of humour also. Managing the Retail segment with him worldwide has been a pleasure and working with him a couple of years after in the US has been another great learning experience.

Douglas did a bang-up job walking my staff through a process for assessing our carbon footprint and identifying achievable goals for our sustainability initiative. He understood that our vision was culturally driven and not necessarily tied to business but was able to help us achieve both.
