A full operating system for getting things done.

Eight focused practice areas, delivered solo or stitched together as a fractional ops partner for your team.

Web Management

End-to-end ownership of websites and platforms — strategy, builds, migrations, performance, and care.

AI Enablement

Practical AI adoption: workflows, copilots, prompts, and governance that move the needle without the hype.

Digital Transformation

Modernize tools, data, and ways of working to unlock measurable operational lift.

Process Optimization & Automation

Map, simplify, automate. Replace busywork with reliable systems your team trusts.

Project & Product Management

PMP-grade delivery across Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid — on time, under budget, aligned.

Marketing & Business Strategy

Sharpen positioning, channels, and the data behind growth decisions.

Business Analysis

Requirements, discovery, and decision support that turn ambiguity into roadmaps.

Stakeholder & Ops Leadership

Cross-functional facilitation, reporting, and the connective tissue that keeps work moving.

Approach

Diagnose. Design. Deliver.

Every engagement starts with listening and ends with something running in production — never just a deck on a shelf.

  1. 01 · Diagnose

    Stakeholder interviews, system audits, and a candid read on what's blocking momentum.

  2. 02 · Design

    A right-sized roadmap with clear owners, milestones, and the smallest viable change set.

  3. 03 · Deliver

    Hands-on execution — agile or waterfall — with weekly demos and transparent reporting.

  4. 04 · Handoff

    Documentation, runbooks, and lightweight care plans so your team owns the outcome.

Experience

Twenty years. One operator.

A body of work built across agencies, enterprises, and independent engagements.

Modus Ops draws upon my 20+ years of experience providing top-tier digital strategy, design, and development project leadership for clients including Yahoo Finance, Carnegie Learning, Medable, Smartly.io, Hancock Whitney, and Avast — steering complex digital builds from discovery to launch with a passion for shipping projects and products.

Most recently, working at KPMG, I delivered QA and financial reporting for Fortune 500 engagements — 10-K filings and audit deliverables held to a zero-defect standard. Prior to that, Modus Ops helped clients reach an increase in conversions of up to 52% year-over-year through tighter digital marketing operations and smarter web execution.

At RocketAir, I served as Senior Project Manager across brand and product work, cutting budget overruns by 20% and improving on-time delivery by 15% through clearer scoping, tighter stand-ups, and stakeholder alignment. Earlier roles at SBP — where I led national marketing and owned web plus mobile app product lifecycles — and Story Block sharpened the ability to translate nonprofit urgency and enterprise rigor into the same reliable delivery cadence.

The through-line is simple: whether the context is a startup sprint, a public-company audit, or a nonprofit fundraising cycle, I show up as the operator who aligns the team, removes blockers, and ships work that holds up after the launch party ends.

About

Doug Alexander

Principal, Modus Ops

I'm a PMP-certified project leader with an MBA and 20+ years moving programs across technology, marketing, and nonprofit teams. I've shipped product for agencies and startups, owned web platforms end-to-end, and led the kind of cross-functional rollouts that actually stick.

Modus Ops is how I bring that work to founders, marketing teams, and operators who need senior judgment without the overhead of an agency — fluent in Agile, Waterfall, and the hybrid reality of most modern teams.
