A seasoned instructor with a proven track record of success in the management consulting industry, Mr. Donohoe excels as the president of Preparedness Plus, which helps international clients assess their oil storage to avoid spills and respond effectively in the event of a spill. Previously, he leveraged his successes as a senior preparedness instructor with Precision Planning and Simulations, Inc. and as a senior vice president of Tioga Environmental Consultants, where he worked from 2009 until 2012. During the early stages of his career, Mr. Donohoe gained valuable expertise in various management and senior roles with Pickering Environmental Consultants, Inc. and Corbett & Holt.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Mr. Donohoe maintained a successful military career spanning over two decades. Between 1972 and 1995, he served in the U.S. Coast Guard as a lieutenant, lieutenant commander, commander, and captain. Before retiring, he served as vice chairman of the National Response Team and chief of the Marine Environmental Protection Program. Due to his vast preparedness, knowledge, and experience, Mr. Donohoe authored "Contingency Plan: Useful Tool or Bureaucratic Burden."
Mr. Donohoe's thirst for knowledge and professional growth is evident in his educational journey. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Wheeling University in 1971 and furthered his studies with a Master of Public Administration from Harvard Kennedy School. His commitment to excellence is reflected in the several certifications he holds in hazardous materials management, international negotiations, hazardous materials response and safety, and port safety law enforcement.
