How Douglas is building a better working world 

I am building a better working world by assisting organizations with their financial recovery claim process. This includes what to expect, who should be involved, the duration of the process, common roadblocks encountered, calculating and presenting the claim, and reaching a financial settlement that can allow organizations to rebuild post-disaster. 

I work with a culturally diverse team with different backgrounds and perspectives. I truly believe our differences make us a stronger team better equipped to address the needs of our clients.
