About the Author

Doug McAlister is the founder of The Bravo-Zulu Consulting Group, LLC. BZG focuses on helping people of all ages define their values, operating principles, mission and goals through The High Road Code process.

Doug is retired from both Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola. He held various leadership positions in both companies which helped him develop The High Road Code process of direction setting and personal branding.

At Procter & Gamble he managed several Food and Beverage businesses in the Southeast, Midwest and West coast. Doug's reputation as a talent identifier and people developer has allowed him to train and develop high performing sales managers for CPG companies around the U.S. His last sales team at Coca-Cola was the most diverse in the entire National Sales group and Doug credits much of the team's success to the team's ability to accept and try different approaches developed by this group.

During his 11 years at Coca-Cola, Doug became Vice President, Retail, Worldwide Military Sales and Export. He led a global retail and food service business with over 300 direct and indirect reports that generated $450MM+/year. The Coca-Cola Military team was known for delivering results (volume and GP business plan delivered 9/11 years). He also became a leader in the industry and served 2 terms as American Logistics Association Board Chairman. He also developed a strong working relationship with the Coca-Cola Bottling system which allowed Coca-Cola to offer national programming to the resale sys system--a first in the DSD industry!

While at P&G, Doug served as Sales Merchandising Manager for the Military Sales team. He worked with the Defense Commissary Agency and A.C. Neilsen to develop the first comprehensive study of shopper behavior and preferences in the military channel which led to major strategic changes for DeCA. Other highlights of Doug's P&G career were leading the Food and Beverage Division's Kroger business and assuming the role of Sales Manager for Cheer detergent.

Prior to his sales and marketing career, Doug was an assistant football coach at DePauw University and a Naval Officer serving on board the U.S.S. Robert L. Wilson (DD 847) as First Lieutenant and the U.S.S. Procyon (AF 61) as Gunnery Officer.
