Ranch Doug Hall has been called “America’s #1 Idea Guru” and “America’s #1 New Product Idea Man.” He began his entrepreneurial career at age 12, inventing and selling a line of magic and juggling kits. After earning a chemical engineering degree from the University of Maine he joined Procter & Gamble where he rose to the rank of Master Marketing Inventor - inventing and shipping a record 9 innovations in 12 months. Since 1986, his Eureka! Ranch consulting team has helped corporations such as American Express, Nike, Procter & Gamble and Walt Disney discover Measurably Smarter Choices for Growth. It seems to work – the Ranch has a world-class 88% client repeat rate. Today, in addition to continuing to help corporate clients, Doug is on a mission to bring the Eureka!
