After Microsoft acquired Great Plains in 2001 he headed the former Microsoft Business Solutions until 2007 when some guy named Nadella was supposed to replace him, but instead, the Dynamics world ended up with Kirill Tatarinov. One of these seems to still be with the company. I can't picture Doug supporting Donald Trump as I can't imagine him calling anybody "stupid" or an "idiot" in public. But then again, I'm not sure the Republican party is ready for someone who likes to speak at length about explorers and talking about human potential.
BURGUM TO SEEK N.D. GOVERNORSHIP Featured
Former Great Plains CEO Doug Burgum is seeking the Republican nomination to be governor of North Dakota. News wire stores say Burgum does not expect to win the endorsement from the party at the GOP convention, but will run in the Republican primary in June. New reports also say Burgum has criticized the state's GOP legislature on social issues. That includes its failure to pass legislation to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and that he has spoken about the importance of equal rights, inclusion and tolerance of others.
