Michael Dougherty is a Director, Deep Water Point & Associates at Deep Water Point & Associates. He possess expertise in homeland security, policy, government, program management, public policy and 43 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I recruited Michael to Raytheon in 2009 to address the global immigration control market and immigration reform efforts in the US. He developed complex analytical models, derived policy and position papers from those models, and liaised with the executive and legislative branches to create business opportunities based on those analyses. He supported R&D working with engineers to develop solutions, supported opportunity development, and wrote proposals. His work in the immigration domain naturally led him into doing the same things for border security, and state and local law enforcement related to gangs and drug smuggling, and eventually to a broad suite of Raytheon products and services that have application in civilian markets. Michael is a subject matter expert in these homeland security missions, and over six years has developed superior competencies useful in business development, strategy, go-to-market planning, capture strategy, and proposal development no matter what the subject. His background as a former judge, DOJ litigator and DHS office-holder means that he can assimilate large amounts of data, decide what's important, and translate that into strategic action plans. Michael is a superb analyst and writer, and is highly skilled at persuasively presenting before audiences large and small. But more importantly, he has developed the ability to light the path to new business, and help business units to develop and capture opportunities. I was impressed by Michael's ability to approach new customers, like in local law enforcement, and quickly become a trusted advisor to them focused on creating mutually valuable outcomes. He doesn't think he does BD, but Michael has quickly come one of the best I know at it." and "Michael has an encyclopedic knowledge of the space and is adept at providing performance and best value to his customers. I highly recommend both him and his team."
