I have known Doug for over a decade and the investigative work and passion he exhibited at Homeland Security Investigations on cultural antiquities really defines him as a leader in this space. I am certain that Doug will continue this passion at Odyssey Global Consulting. It’s been an honor to have worked alongside Doug in determining and identifying the lost/stolen antiquities and returning them to their true ownership and countries of origin.

Doug Bort was a valued colleague when I was working at my previous position. He was a dedicated public servant and consummate professional, and always had time to share his expertise. He brings top-notch investigative skills and a genuine interest in cultural property matters to his work.
