Doug joined RS Group as the Chief Services Officer, reporting to CEO Lindsley Ruth, in January of this year. In this role, Doug has worked to accelerate the development and execution of a value-added services strategy to better serve customer needs and drive business growth. His previous experience includes large profit and loss leadership across multiple industries and diverse markets worldwide. He is also well versed in bringing businesses together and harmoniously leveraging their product and service offerings to deliver exceptional customer success and business performance.
