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. Back in the day, my love for competition led me to tackle over 50 triathlon races, including 2 Ironman events. The grit, determination, and tenacity I developed on those roads have smoothly translated into my professional life, making me an unstoppable force in the tech world. Oh, and I love to speak! For over two decades, I've been an 'edutainer' on stages all over the world, captivating audiences with my master storytelling abilities. My TEDx talk "The Most Important Story You Will Ever Tell" in 2019 and over 400 presentations give or take a few. When I'm not busy unraveling the tech universe, you might find me volunteering for causes close to my heart, like the Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Texas and co-founding the Grapevine.org Giving Circle, Austin Guys for Good. Community impact is a big part of who I am. My trophy shelf is filled with certifications and awards, a testament to my passion for excellence. From the MIT Professional Education Digital Transformation certification to the CompTIA CTT+ Classroom Trainer Certification, I'm always aiming high. But enough about tech! My real superpower is connecting with people through storytelling. I bring a human touch to the tech world, making it relatable to all. With a dash of humor and a knack for inspiring diverse perspectives, I'm here to drive positive change in the tech industry and beyond. So, if you're looking for a tech-savvy, storytelling, keynote-speaking, Ironman-running, community-serving expert to elevate your organization or event, look no further. Let's embark on an unforgettable journey of knowledge, inspiration, and laughter together. Reach out, and let's make magic happen!
