Doug Hall is a Renaissance Innovator, entrepreneur, professional inventor, author, actor, playwright, North Pole explorer, foodie, mixologist, bourbon maker, magician, juggler, husband, father and grandfather.
He is a chemical engineer by education, who over 10 years rose to the rank of Master Marketing Inventor at Procter & Gamble setting a company record creating and shipping nine innovations in 12 months. He is the founder and Chairman of The Eureka! Ranch, an innovation training and consulting firm.
In 1986, he founded the Eureka! Ranch. As Hall says, “The Eureka! Ranch’s mission is the same as mine. It exists to change the world through systems that enable everyone to think and act smarter, faster and more innovatively.”
Research indicates the average U.S. home uses 18 products and/or services that the Ranch Team has helped invent or reinvent for companies such as Walt Disney, Diagio, Nike, AT&T, Procter & Gamble, Unilever, American Express and hundreds of others.
In 2009, Hall founded Innovation Engineering -- a new field of academic study and leadership science focused on System Driven Innovation. Innovation Engineering applies the system thinking of Dr. W. Edwards Deming to Innovation. It’s taught as an undergraduate minor and graduate certificate on college campuses and off campus executive education programs.
Hall is also co-founder of The Dexter Bourbon company. It’s flagship, Dexter Three Wood Bourbon, has been named one of the top 12 bourbons in the world. The team also created and produced Noble Oak Bourbon in partnership with Edrington, which was the fastest growing super premium bourbon during COVID.
Hall is a bestselling author of eight books on innovation and courage. His "Jump Start Your Business Brain" book was named to Jack Covert’s prestigious list of the 100 best business books of all time.
He has starred in two network television series (ABC's "American Inventor", W Network's "Backyard Inventor") and a nationally syndicated radio program (Brain Brew Radio). He also authored and performed a one man play, "North Pole Tenderfoot" about his adventure recreating Admiral Peary’s last dash to the North Pole.
For his pioneering work on System Driven Innovation, Hall was awarded honorary doctorates by the University of Maine and the University of Prince Edward Island.
