Executive Level Experience, Big Picture Focus: Doug Sokolosky
Sokolosky has brought executive level experience and a big picture focus to individuals and corporations since beginning his career at IBM. He has held all senior-level positions in the traditional corporate structure, and has sat on the advisory boards for AT&T and Hewlett Packard Corporation. As a top executive, Doug’s expertise in mergers and acquisitions has led him to use first-hand experience in successfully coaching others through the process. His On-Boarding experience has helped C-level executives in many Fortune 500 corporations.
After 27 years at the top ranks of corporate America, Doug Sokolosky joined Dallas-based Valerie & Company in 1993 as Partner/Chief Financial Officer. Valerie & Company focuses on leadership skills through management development, consulting, training and publishing. Sokolosky specializes in executive coaching with C-level executives.
“Executive coaching represents an opportunity to use my 27 years of experience on an on-going basis. I get a great deal of personal satisfaction from watching someone I have consulted achieve promotions and recognition that are rightfully earned and deserved.”
---Doug Sokolosky
For the past several years Valerie & Company has acted as external consultants to our company and they have been an invaluable resource as it has transitioned from a small start-up operation to a viable company experiencing tremendous growth. Doug's pragmatic, straight forward style has been effective in help us resolve organizational and conflict situations in field offices, as well as coaching certain key executives on modifying personal management styles, which were impeding their effectiveness as leaders.
I regard Doug and Valerie as valuable resources as they guide us in assessing situations and looking at options. They have made a very positive contribution to our evolution over the last several years.
