People hop on calls with me to brainstorm business ideas, product launches, marketing strategies, creative concepts, leadership, and golf. Yes, golf. I know! Let's chat.

As well as mentoring hundreds of startups through our programs, I've taught at several startup programs and alternative business schools including Hub Launchpad, Knowmads, Hyper Island, Lean Startup Machine, Lightning Lab, Fusebox. Passionate about entrepreneurship, design, startups, customer experience, digital & tech for good, happiness at work, innovating how we gather and network.

Design Founder & Genius Grant Writer @ roses/foundation (WCAG Task Force) https://w3.org/TR/wcag-3.0/ ALANA has designed many businesses of her own and helped others design theirs. With formal art school training in advertising and a bloodthirsty love for truth, this art school drop out went on to awaken a dying world and forged a path to help others through design ethics, consumer advocacy, songwriting, editorial, documentary filmmaking and by giving children a voice. ALANA writes timeless, soulfully relevant top lines with rich vocals for genre-defining music producers of several genres including downtempo, chill hop, EDM, indie pop, new folk, and Americana. Her music has been licensed to films/television with personally scored documentaries and a special interest in human ecology. She spent her early years in the underground music scene of San Francisco, then broadened her artistry with experiences that included NYC subway busking, major label courtship in London and the experimental influence of New Orleans’ Music Box Village. In 2010 ALANA released an EP with London's Chessclub Records called The Misuse of Chemistry. She is currently writing and recording in partnership with Zero 7. After experiencing an intense refocusing and new vision for how the music industry can better serve artists, ALANA continues to challenge our pre-conceived notions about where we are headed as a human family with her beloved husband Michael Darius at roses/foundation.

I built a successful in-house CX function in a telco with 25M customers. I advise the biggest banks, retailers, e-commerce platforms, B2B distributors, etc. I care about customers and profits. I have an Executive MBA, I am an Accredited Service Design Master, and I love people.

I have 20+ years of professional experience in the areas of business transformation & design, business architecture, enterprise social, strategy, planning and operations. My USP has always been developing a concept from a napkin sketched idea to a global deployment and implementation. Trailblazing concepts, engaging virtual teams, strategic thinking, agility and sense of humour are just a few statements that characterise the way I think, engage and work. *** My professional acumen has expanded over the years that I spent at the technology giant Cisco. I acted as business transformation advisor to Cisco's business partners introducing the concepts of "Human Centred Design" or "Design Thinking" I was a co-creator of a Partner Growth Framework - a blueprint for the transformation of business from product to business outcomes sales. *** In 2020 I took on an Entrepreneurial challenge and created a new approach to consultancy services that tackle the issue of high rate of startup failure and lack of simple yet effective approach to business innovation. The creation of business navigators under the brand of Conseptz aims at democratisation of consultancy services, scaling to increase the success rate of startup launch and successful methods for business innovation. In addition, my curious nature has come to the surface by me taking on a challenge of translating a complexity of blockchain technology through the lenses of small and medium business model innovation.
