Doug Mitchell

Doug Mitchell here...CEO of a small business cloud computing company, author, and speaker.

---

Since 1999, I've led marketing and business development efforts in early stage and start-up companies. For 3 years I owned and operated a virtual digital agency that drove Internet Business Strategy and trench warfare execution for SMB's. After selling in 2010, I was able to focus on writing my first book "The MultiThread Marketer" (Amazon). I'm now the CEO of a small business cloud computing firm which delivers desktop and server virtualization. Really we deliver small business owner pain relief. We make I.T. work just like electricity and plumbing. My early mornings and nights are split between teaching local community education classes, building my seasoning business so my kids can take it over, and writing books.
