Doug Thompson's Linkedin Analytics

Hey there, I'm Doug Thompson, your friendly neighborhood 'sales nerd,' storytelling aficionado, and retired triathlete based in sunny Austin, Texas. With more than 20 years of experience, I've dedicated myself to making complex tech topics feel like a breeze with the magic of storytelling. My journey from tackling over 50 triathlon races, including 2 Ironman events, has imbued me with grit and determination, translating smoothly into my professional life. This tenacity makes me an unstoppable force in the tech world. I've captivated audiences worldwide for over two decades as an 'edutainer' on stage. My TEDx talk, "The Most Important Story You Will Ever Tell," and over 400 presentations showcase my master storytelling abilities, turning technical jargon into engaging narratives. When not unraveling the tech universe, I volunteer for causes close to my heart, like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Texas, and co-founded the Grapevine.org Giving Circle, and Austin Guys for Good. Community impact is a big part of who I am. With certifications from MIT Professional Education, Microsoft, and Tanium, my passion for excellence is evident. Yet, my real superpower is connecting with people through storytelling, bringing a human touch to tech, and inspiring diverse perspectives. Looking for a tech-savvy, storytelling, keynote-speaking, Ironman-running, community-serving expert to elevate your organization or event? Let's embark on an unforgettable journey of knowledge, inspiration, and laughter together. Reach out, and let's make magic happen all without any #techsplaining.
