Doug Bruce

After spending 10 years in the broadcast industry as either a journalist or a news director, Doug Bruce turned his attention to academia.  For 23 years he worked for the University of Kentucky in a variety of capacities, all of which centered around his passion, organizational effectiveness.  Before retiring in 2003, Doug’s portfolio included coaching executives, physicians, and academic leaders.

His retirement from UK lasted precisely one month, before he took on the irresistible opportunity to build an executive development program one Kentucky’s largest healthcare system, Norton Healthcare. 

After completing his work for Norton, Doug turned his attention to what he enjoys most, executive coaching.  One of his clients was the dean of the nation’s 8th ranked college of pharmacy, who wanted to move his college to the number one school in the world.  In 2007, Dean Kenneth Roberts convinced Doug to come out of retirement once again.  He is now the chief of staff for the University of Kentucky College of Pharmacy, which moved from 8th ranked to 5th in one year, and is rapidly progressing toward the pinnacle.

Among his personal interests is a love of college basketball.  For 18 years Doug Bruce had the best seat in Rupp Arena, as he served as the public address voice of the Wildcats of UK.  No stranger to public speaking, Doug has spoken to over 1200 audiences over the last two decades outside of Rupp Arena.
