It is with great pleasure that I offer this letter of recommendation of Don Douglas. I worked directly with Don for two and half years in my capacity as President and Chief Executive Officer of a publicly traded telecommunications and data company.
Character and ability are the two most important traits that I look for in those I work closely with. In my 35 years in the work environment, I have not encountered a finer individual or a higher level professional executive then Don Douglas. His integrity, loyalty, dependability and honesty are unmatched and beyond reproach. This is a rare find today and Don possesses those values that I personally and professionally admire.
Don negotiated all of our more difficult and complex transactions and customer and vendor agreements. In my opinion and observation, Don’s negotiation skills are exceptional. He always understood the business issues on both sides, and he had the unique ability to consistently close difficult deals on terms extremely favorable to the Company. He accomplished this while preserving, and often strengthening, our relationship with the other side. He even negotiated and managed the reduction of our outside legal expenses by approximately 75% without harming our relationship with outside legal counsel.
Don is uniquely intelligent, creative and focused. He not only provided superior legal advice, but I also utilized Don as my professional mentor and coach. He was respected by my Board, and he helped me understand, navigate and more appropriately present difficult issues to the Board. He is not only an excellent attorney; he is an excellent business man and now a friend.
Don earned the respect and admiration of the staff and other executives. I was always impressed with his compassion and concerns for others. No matter who approached him, he always made the time to help and as a result he was well respected.
I am pleased and honored to provide Don with my recommendation; you will not find a finer professional negotiator or legal and business advisor in today’s business environment. If given the opportunity, I would rehire Don without hesitation.
Sincerely,
– Gary Henry, CEO, Metro One Telecommunications
