About Doug Carroll

Financial instruments and markets training specialist, author, high energy, interactive classroom presenter and effective communicator in digital and distance learning environments. Varied experiences in sales, trading and investment management allow me to draw upon an unusually broad range of professional activities to connect training session content to attendees' day to day activities. Hands-on experience in the markets is supplemented by a rigorous grounding in the legal, regulatory and theoretical aspects of the financial markets gained while earning numerous professional licenses and pertinent college degrees, including master’s degrees in finance and economics.

Adept at working effectively with diverse audiences in a variety of contexts; audiences and topics have run the gamut from “Capital Markets Overview” for industry neophytes to “Advanced Derivatives” for portfolio managers and trading desk personnel; comfortable delivering presentations to large audiences as well as conducting one-on-one or small group tutoring. While I most enjoy classroom training because of the immediacy of interaction and the ability to read the audience, I do have extensive experience with distance learning delivered via live webinars or video conferences as well as having developed digital training programs. I’ve had the good fortune to deliver training sessions in most of the major financial centers in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
