Douglas Mackie, an IT Business Analyst for the past seven years at GlaxoSmithKline from Cinnaminson, NJ, was one of the winners of this year’s ICV photo contest, announced at the 4th Annual ICV Conference this April.

After the announcement, we asked Doug to relay his ICV experience. The father of three college-age children, Doug, a self-proclaimed “classic American” had never had a passport or left the United States before his GSK PULSE assignment in Kenya. Following his assignment, Doug’s perspective on life, work, and GSK has been changed forever.
