Head of Talent @ Worldly - Building Teams That Are Making Our World A Better Place 🌎 | SMB Builder & Investor

At my core, I am a strategic thinker, innovator, leader and educator who sees life through an entrepreneurial lens.  To me, there is nothing more exciting than helping bring people together to solve big problems.  And that is why I thrive in Recruitment and Talent Acquisition.

Bringing together my love for relationship-building, marketing, sales, and strategy, I strive to build talent brands that are always innovating, always improving, and most importantly, always seeking to provide a better experience for job seekers.  

To me, the recruitment function goes far beyond simply filling jobs.  A strong system has many layers and requires the right framework, strategy, network, and tools.  Utilizing this infrastructure, my main objective in everything I do is to build talent processes that are equitable, efficient, and scalable.

I’m Doug 👋

💥 A ‘traditional’ path ended after college. With many interests, I traveled different roads; realized the likes, dislikes, challenged myself to accomplish anything, and gained lifelong skills along the way, knowing I was never handed anything. 

💥 Building genuine relationships, learning new things, being challenged, connecting around business, real estate, investing, SaaS / tech, and  cool startups — all things that get me going professionally. 

💥 Tennis, book shops, local coffee shops, walking trails, perusing quaint towns & enjoying time with my partner and cat is sacred - watching movies and trying to emulate “Chopped” in the kitchen are a close second. 

👉🏼 Previous 5 years ⤵️ 


⭕️ 1000s of clients, multi-six figures in revenue for my own businesses 

⭕️ Partner, Head of Ops/BD in a Sports-tech startup (Think: Booxi or MindBody) in the Hamptons, reaching 7-figures (Exit) 

⭕️ Owner, Consultant & Director of Client Services for Athletic Move LLC - Built entirely through word-of-mouth and referrals, to six-figures 

⭕️ President / Director of Business Development & Operations for a SaaS startup focused on Generative AI, raised $1.8M, raised another ~$1M in LOIs before exiting. 

Currently ⤵️ 

✅ Head Professional, Racquet Sports Operations at Invited Clubs - The Hasentree Club 

What’s next ⤵️

“When you put yourself out there, do the right thing, and work hard, good things happen.”
