Douglas F. Williamson, a native New Yorker, draws on a wealth of experience and practice and has a track record of success in multiple fields. He is fluent and works in four languages (English, French, German, Spanish), has co-authored a Routledge book called “Leading Transformative Change Collectively”, has won multiple awards and festival selections for short films, had a thriving business as a voice-over artist, and has lived in five countries and traveled to about 50 more.
I had the good fortune to work with Douglas over several years on a very complex collaboration initiative to empower orange juice workers in Brazil through working with the German government and large German food retailers. His patience, guidance, and expertise in making difficult cooperation systems function was invaluable. He helped me grow personally and professionally into the role of Secretariat manager for this complex initiative and supported me and my organization to advance this effort significantly. He’s also a lot of fun to work with!
I’ve known Douglas for almost 10 years, having attended a professional development workshop that he designed and facilitated in Costa Rica. We’ve stayed in touch over the years (actually, it’s mostly been him reaching out, which says a lot about his business relationship and networking skills) and I’ve kept an eye on his professional accomplishments. Douglas’s knowledge is wide-ranging, he’s a highly competent, talented, and passionate professional with ample international experience. In addition, he’s insightful, warm, creative, and fun.
I highly recommend Doug for anyone navigating a career transition. Over the course of seven months, his ability to help me clarify my goals and understand my strengths and weaknesses, and assess how they would be perceived by and useful to potential employers, was invaluable. Doug’s insightful questions and thoughtful guidance helped me successfully pivot from a role in private equity to becoming the Chief Legal Officer at a family office and navigate a complex exit from my prior firm.
