A former Division I college baseball player and floor trader, Dr. Doug Hirschhorn holds a PhD in Psychology with a specialization in Sport Psychology.
Dr. Doug, which he is affectionately called by his clients, has spent more than two decades helping top performers in elite private equity firms, law firms, hedge funds, and investment banks reach and sustain peak performance.
Dr. Doug is known for his direct, results-driven approach—and his unique ability to blend psychology, performance science, and real-world business experience has made him a trusted advisor across industries.
With three books, 100+ media appearances, and a who’s who list of hedge fund clients, Dr. Doug (alongside the legendary Tony Robbins and the late, great Dr. Ari Kiev of SAC Capital) is one of the key real-life inspirations for Axe Capital’s performance coach Dr. Wendy Rhoades—a character played by Maggie Siff on Showtime’s Billions. He consulted directly with the show’s producers, writers, and cast to bring authenticity to the role, sharing how he helps clients deliver consistently at the highest levels.
Dr. Doug is a trusted advisor to leaders in finance, law, and other professional services firms to transform pressure into performance.
