Hi, I’m Alex. My passion and mission is to nurture successful stories. Helping men and women, like you, launching a business they truly love, putting the hours in something that is meaningful to them, and create the life they truly want. Creating a business is one of the most exciting adventures one can undertake. So, if you have a burning desire to create your own business but you don’t know what or how, or if you are looking to bring your business to the next level, I know you will need help, as I needed help to grow my businesses. I have worked for large corporations ($1B+) on developing their businesses internationally for over 15 years. In 2014, I decided to leave the corporate world and create my first business. I now advise and coach entrepreneurs on launching and growing their businesses. I am here to help you get clarity, to support you, and to be there when you need to bounce ideas around or when you feel stuck. I'm here to pump you up when you feel lonely or down. I would be honored to accompany you on this journey, to get clarity on your vision and your goals, to set up the strategy and steps, to avoid the costly mistakes (time and money) I've made, to overcome struggle, loneliness, or just to have someone to make you accountable, to bounce back your ideas, to achieve your dreams, and to make an impact on other people's lives.

I have rolled up my sleeves, invested my money developing, world class products and have tried to contribute in my own small way to the recruitment community. As a professional, I have been lucky to be involved in diverse areas with rich insights into business process. My initiatives in Learning Management Systems has triggered forays into Social Media.

I am a well, versed business professional, who has built a wealth of knowledge by traversing many markets across the span of my career. I have purposely sought diverse roles, to continually expand my business acumen such that I remain an invaluable employee for each, and every employer I have worked with or company I have consulted too. I have held roles covering the breadth of the project lifecycle and senior roles such as Project/Business Development and General Manager positions. I continually strive to identify and then deliver opportunities, which increase or extend the value offering of the company I represent. With 30 years of practical and extensive Electrical, Telecommunications, Construction, Technology and Entrepreneurial experience, I am currently identifying, new and emerging technologies, which will assist business units in achieving increased BAU operational efficiencies, in turn providing pass-through benefits for clients. Supplementing this, I am ascertaining and developing new markets that expand market presence, aligning with the current corporate growth strategies. As an MBA graduate, I also understand the fragility of the current business landscape and work to better place a company in a strategically stronger position. I strive to create opportunities, which sit outside of the tendering process through strategic supplier partnerships; development of financial and business models, which drive innovative solutions for capital-constrained clients; engage with emerging or commercialising technology companies to open “Blue Ocean” markets; and bring together complementary companies to deliver integrated solutions not currently available in the marketplace.
