Douglas H. London

As a Partner at CCS, Doug brings a thoughtful, mission-focused approach to every engagement, helping organizations navigate complex philanthropic environments with clarity and purpose. And as a co-founder and leader of PRIDE at CCS, as well as contributor to the DEIB and Culture of the Board of Directors Committee, Doug is a respected advocate for culture and equity across the firm.

Doug builds an environment where colleagues can lead authentically and feel a strong sense of belonging.  That commitment to leadership extends into the broader community, as well. He is a frequent speaker at CASE/NAIS, AZA, NATA, and other industry convenings, offering guidance to independent school and higher education leaders, zoo and aquarium executives, and synagogue professionals. He serves on the boards of Jewish United Fund and Family Equality, and is active within the Jewish Federations of North America’s National Young Leadership Cabinet, where he currently serves as Vice Chair.

Doug’s connection to philanthropy runs deep. A native of Chicago, he was raised with a strong emphasis on generosity; he carries that value into his work and into the example he sets for his own children. He holds a BA in Communications and Politics from Lake Forest College and lives in Chicago with his family—including his twins, Calvin and Mabel, and their dog, Franklin. Outside of work, Doug enjoys traveling, competing in triathlons, and spending meaningful time with loved ones.
