At age 32 he conducted a massive streamlining of The Nakatomi Corporation which helps save the company. While there were massive layoffs Douglas remained steadfast to his ideals of the greatest good for the greatest number and meritocracy. This is widely considered to be the beginning of the renaissance of Nakatomi.
Douglas became the CEO of the company in 2027 aged 39. He became deeply concerned with world affairs such as international tensions, peak oil and global warming. He begins to look for alternative fuel sources that will help deescalate all three.
Nakatomi made great strides during his leadership yet the answer to his question alluded him due to the interference of governments. This is how he developed the Ark project.
By 2048 Douglas had achieved his goal and lived on the Ark, it is his dream to build more as scientific utopias where the quest for knowledge is held above all other ideals.
