Background

About Doug MacRae

I lead workforce and transformation work inside Deloitte's Human Capital healthcare team because healthier systems still hinge on a healthy workforce. Building capacity for caregivers and improving how they delivery care feels like work that matters. My path runs through consulting, philanthropy, manufacturing proprietorship, and even the competitive pipe band world. Each stop through my career sharpened the same bias: practical change beats elegant theory. Whether I'm guiding staff through a scheduling system overhaul or helping an Indigenous community launch a health information system, I start by asking what really matters and how we'll actually support the change. Colleagues describe my style as plain-spoken. Clients say I translate executive ambition into solutions people can follow. Either way, I count a good week as one where we expose a blind spot and plant a fresh idea that nudges the system toward resilience.
