Bio
Mats Menhardt
Doug was and is an incredible team leader. He brought myself and a whole team of Cal Poly Students onto his team and taught us the basics of sales. He was understanding of school and real life, while still holding the entire team accountable. Every member of our original sales staff has gone on to start a successful career, and I would cite my success to the skills I learned from Doug at Comevo.

I had the opportunity to work with Doug when he was with Etna Interactive, a medical website development company. At that time we were in the early development stages of the process and Doug did the hand holding and education that was required. We finally met in person met at a conference and he proved to be a personable and trustworthy individual. Doug is a talented individual and I wish he were still at Etna. OW
