He has more 25 years of experience in television audience measurement and research, with  particular expertise in its use in advertising strategy and business development. Doug began his media career installing people meters for Nielsen Media Research in the US. Over a 12-year period he worked his way up to establish and run television ratings  operations in several Latin American and Asian countries. His tenure with Nielsen included the roles of Vice President of Media Services Latin America and Managing Director of Media Services in Singapore.
