Doug Katz: Revolutionizing Kitchen Independence with the NULU Adaptive Knife
About this episode
Doug Katz’s journey has been anything but predictable. A West Point graduate, disabled Army veteran, and seasoned professional across multiple industries, Doug’s latest mission is personal—helping people regain independence in the kitchen. After facing upper extremity impairments and caregiving for an aging loved one, he realized how challenging cooking can be for those with mobility limitations. That realization led to NULU, an adaptive knife designed to empower users by working with natural body mechanics instead of against them.
In this episode of Direct Or Detour, Doug shares his path from military service to innovative entrepreneurship, the inspiration behind NULU, and how his veteran-led team is making a real impact through their Kickstarter campaign. Whether you’re passionate about adaptive tech, entrepreneurship, or resilience in the face of change, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss!
