Douglas C. Pileri

In an international career that spans more than thirty years, Mr. Pileri has earned a reputation for applying visionary leadership––energizing and inspiring workforces and integrating business discipline with the creative application of technology––to achieve extraordinary results. In multiple senior leadership positions, he has built an enduring record of success in some of the world’s great companies––IBM, Thomson, and Kodak––and in Freedom Partners, one of the country’s most successful policy-influencing organizations.

Mr. Pileri’s experience with music began with clarinet lessons at a young age when he learned that even though he wasn’t the best in the band, his ability to play an instrument would help him develop the confidence he would need along the way. From that point on, there would always be music in his life––first through a grand piano, because he and his wife Debby believed that music helps to build a sense of love and family in the home.
