Senior Associate
Michael Doering
Michael Doering brings a wealth of education administration and leadership experience to his associate role at The Alexander Group. As a thoughtful and effective communicator, Mr. Doering excels at connecting with clients, listening to their needs, and applying that feedback to each search.
Mr. Doering earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Concordia University, Nebraska and a Master of Education degree from Concordia University, Texas.
In addition to coaching high school athletics, Mr. Doering is also a wine ambassador for Texas Hill Country wineries.
My background is in educational leadership but, I like to think of myself as a professional learner. Every client has a unique challenge they are solving, and I love learning what those challenges may be and then bringing that special lens to the talent market. I have a Ted Lasso reference here, “all people are different people” and truly all searches are different searches. Our clients need curious search professionals who will listen, learn, and adapt.

What do you think differentiates the Alexander Group from other executive search firms?
It starts with a deep understanding of our client’s needs. Understanding the culture, team, key responsibilities, and context all play a vital role in our research and messaging to candidates. We take the responsibility of representing our clients seriously and we will continue to refine the search to find the best candidate.
What do you love about your work?
I love seeing our client’s confidence grow through the process. Occasionally our client enters unchartered territory in filling a position and being a partner in the discovery process is incredibly rewarding. I am humbled to be a part of connecting clients and candidates who never would have thought of either as a potential fit.
What's the highest compliment a client can give you?
The highest compliment a client gives us is when they recommend our firm to others.
