Today
Arthur J. Gallagher & Co.
SVP and Captive Practice Lead, managing complex programs for contractors, developers, and EPCs across the U.S.
“I treat every client’s business as if it were my own.”
That’s not a tagline — it’s how Doug has built his practice. He believes in educating clients rather than just selling policies, and in building long-term partnerships that deliver measurable results. His focus is always on total cost of risk — not just the premium number on your renewal.
“If we always put our clients first and do what’s right by them, everything else will eventually work out.”
