The Company

Honest Intentions is the personal brand of Doug Skinner, built on the timeless principles of honesty and integrity. From the very beginning, Doug’s work has been guided by the belief that trust is the foundation of innovation and growth. His first venture, ImHONEST.com, was a unique lost-and-found recovery service for mobile devices that relied on the goodwill of honest strangers. That mission later evolved into Return.me, but the guiding principle—building value on honesty—remains at the core of everything Doug does.

Doug’s career path reflects a rare blend of enterprise experience, startup grit, and academic contribution. As a Microsoft alum, he launched new software products and strengthened partner ecosystems across the enterprise. At Audit Associates, he drove rapid execution, registering 23 new products in just 30 days. At Kyocera Document Solutions Development, he led sales enablement and go-to-market strategy, accelerating sales velocity and shaping high-performance teams. Beyond the corporate sphere, Doug serves as a lecturer and pitch contest judge at Diablo Valley College, mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Today, as Founder of Intentional Management LLC, Doug helps mainstreet businesses, SaaS companies and leaders in logistics, finance, professional services, and healthcare industries harness the power of AI and IoT to simplify complexity, orchestrate growth, and build scalable revenue systems. His work blends people, process, and technology into practical roadmaps that turn signals and data into measurable outcomes.

Doug is also the author of 21 Keys to AI Orchestration: How to Lead Your Team to Embrace Change, a practitioner’s playbook for executives navigating digital transformation. The book captures two decades of experience in revenue operations, GTM strategy, and AI enablement, offering leaders field-tested strategies to embrace change, foster innovation, and achieve lasting impact.

What began with a simple idea—that honesty could be the foundation of a business—has grown into a career devoted to helping leaders and teams thrive in an era of constant change. Doug continues to live by the same values that launched ImHONEST.com: integrity, customer delight, and building systems worthy of trust.

Along the way, he has authored playbooks, led assessments, and designed high-impact Bootcamps and Workshops that help leaders and their teams embrace change and scale smarter.

Through Intentional Management LLC, Doug works with business owners, SaaS founders, and executives across logistics, legal, and healthcare to turn strategy into action. His workshops and Bootcamps bring clarity to complex challenges, equipping teams with the skills, systems, and confidence to execute.

Doug’s reputation has always been rooted in results—early in his career, he earned the nickname “cash flow” Skinner for his ability to unlock opportunities, increase sales, and improve processes. Today, that same focus guides his work as a founder, author, and advisor who helps clients achieve revenue growth with integrity.

When he’s not advising or speaking, you’ll find Doug with family at a ballgame, walking his dog, or golfing—always living by the principles of honest intentions, practical outcomes, and sustainable growth.
