Summary

Hi, I'm Alex.

I build the teams, capability, and strategy that form high-performing organisations, from the boardroom through to the codebase.

I've spent ten years doing the work myself: shipping AI and data products, closing enterprise deals, and building cross-functional teams. That experience grounds the direction I set, and I know what good looks like because I've built it.

Currently building the AI practice at Think and Grow, and a new product that's still in stealth.
