Jeff Imbrescia, CEO/President of Douglas Education Center – 32 Years of Leadership!
“I had to learn on the job,” says Jeff Imbrescia, CEO and President of Douglas Education Center (DEC), talking about his beginnings as the owner what was then called Douglas School of Business. Mr. Imbrescia’s leadership has proven to be the foundation that Douglas Education Center needed. His vision and persistence transformed Douglas into a premiere career school.
When Mr. Imbrescia made the decision to purchase the school, it was located inside one building – with five employees, forty five students and two main programs. Mr. Imbrescia would spend the next three decades developing curriculum and facilities designed to train people in new disciplines.
“You have to have an understanding of the past and where you came from and your roots, but you also have to have the vision, the fortitude, the drive, and the guts to be able to make a change and move forward,” says Mr. Imbrescia on what it takes to grow. He also credits the instructors at DEC, calling them “the backbone of DEC and mentors to the students.” It is clear that without Mr. Imbrescia’s leadership Douglas Education Center would most certainly not be what it is today.
