Today’s guest is Douglas Katz—West Point grad, disabled Army veteran, and creator of the NULU knife, a revolutionary adaptive kitchen tool that empowers people of all abilities to cook with confidence. After careers in the military, steel casting, telecom, and lending, Doug turned his problem-solving skills to adaptive tech, inspired by personal experiences with injury and caregiving. He now leads a team of veterans and over-50 professionals with a shared mission: to bring independence and dignity back to the kitchen. Doug leads a talented team of 50 + year old professionals, many of whom are veterans, as they work to make independence in the kitchen accessible to everyone, from seniors and veterans to anyone facing physical limitations. Join us as Doug shares his journey, the story behind NULU, and his passion for designing tools that support independence and dignity at every stage of life.
