From Stage to Strategy
Douglas Frazier’s journey began on stage, where he spent years mastering the art of magic not as a series of tricks, but as a study of human attention, emotion, and connection. Performing for audiences around the world taught him that what truly captivates people is not illusion, but insight. This understanding became the foundation for his approach to leadership and communication: how we direct attention, shape perspective, and create meaningful moments.
Leadership at the Highest Levels
After earning his MBA, Douglas carried those lessons into the heart of government and global business. He served as a Senior Advisor at both the State Department and the National Security Council, where he guided strategy on cybersecurity and Middle East policy. His ability to bring clarity and focus to complex discussions made him a trusted voice in shaping international initiatives. Later, at Microsoft, Douglas helped expand the Azure ecosystem across 180 countries leading transformative efforts in cloud technology and digital innovation. This blend of public and private sector experience gives his message real-world authority.
