Douglas Brunt:  Professional Career

Douglas Brunt began his career as a consultant for Booz Allen & Hamilton and as a director for Idealab!, a technology incubator.

Prior to becoming a well-known author, he was the CEO of Authentium, Inc., a Palm Beach Gardens, Florida-based Internet security firm.

He was the CEO of the company, which was founded in 1999 with the goal of providing “security software enabling e-commerce by uniting websites and users in an end-to-end secured transaction environment.”

Then, in July 2010, all assets, products, licenses, and operations of Authentium’s Command antivirus division were acquired for $4.6 million in cash, with a possible “earnout” that would raise the final amount to $8 million.

Brunt left the company in 2011 after the successful buyout to pursue his favorite hobby, writing. A year later, he published his first novel, ‘Ghosts of Manhattan,’ which tells the story of an unhappy Wall Street insider who struggles to find a way out.

His second novel, ‘The Means,’ published in 2015, is about a conservative trial attorney named Tom Pauley who is “tapped by GOP leaders to campaign for the Governor’s mansion.”

This was followed by his third novel, ‘Trophy Son,’ which was published on May 30, 2017.
