      Doug MacArthur with Heads of State

MacArthur Group Inc. is not a theory-based consulting company but, instead, a world-class, hands-on international player that is as comfortable doing business in Tokyo or Moscow as in Prince Edward Island. We have international networks of senior level executives and officials who can provide MacArthur Group and its clients with outstanding advice and assistance for projects undertaken in their country and/or region.
