Our Journey – How We Got Here
Doug Swenson brings over 20 years of successful technology management and technology consulting experience to Brightcore Consulting. As Managing Partner, Doug provides our clients with valuable advice on strategic planning, future products, our services and infrastructure with a uniquely technical competence.
Prior to forming Brightcore Consulting, Doug held management positions for several key players within the Information Technology community. Doug was the Manager of Engineering at etNetworks. While at etNeworks, he helped design and implement the delivery of video-on-demand educational content over satellite for IBM Learning Services and Cisco Systems. Later, with Convergent Systems, Doug collaborated with Cisco Systems again to design a global satellite network to deliver internal training and live events via IPTV.
More recently, Doug was the Chief Technology Officer for Silver State Helicopters, a helicopter flight training academy with over 32 locations across the United States, where he deployed and managed a nationwide company network architecture for over 750 employees and 2400 students. His previous experience with IBM and Cisco allowed him to spearhead the development of the SSH Distance Learning Program, which standardized helicopter ground school for the industry while increasing operational effectiveness for students and instructors alike. That program was an industry first for the rotorcraft industry and saved SSH almost $3 million in training costs during the first year of implementation.
Swenson received his Bachelor of Science in Management and Systems Engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY.
Brightcore Consulting is proud to be a 100% Veteran-Owned Business, led by U.S. Army Veteran Doug Swenson.
