Travelers Deal TeamI had an extensive corporate career that spanned two decades. I always thought of myself as a strategic marketer, but by time the end of my corporate period came around the best characterization of my skills and experiences would have been that of a general executive in finance, at least that’s what a partner at McKinsey told me, and they know everything, right?

Over the years I worked in

  • Product development
  • Branding
  • Advertising
  • Mergers and Acquisitions
  • Restructuring
  • Sales management
  • Direct response marketing
  • Strategic planning
  • Corporate financial planning
  • Post merger / post acquisition integration
  • IT architecture
  • Systems and business process quality
  • Strategic program management
  • Global IT business management
  • Corporate governance

In other words, it was hard for me to keep a job.

Artifacts from that period are accessible from the links below:

Douglas Barone

A postmodern Existentialist with Objectivist leanings, fighting to catch up with his art, after serving time as a capitalist oppressor of the people.

Doug Barone retired from corporate life after 20 years in the finance industry and is fooling everyone into thinking he is a writer. Having been a corporate strategist, finance executive, and IT executive he has found almost nothing of use to him from those years except the zany people and crazy stories that no one in their right mind could ever dream up. He uses these real life experiences in his work and this separates him from other writers who never really worked a day in their lives either. He writes about the primacy of the individual, the oppression of institutions, and the ability of real heroes to exist. As such he fully expects to be pilloried by the academic left and the religious right, and looks forward to every lashing.
