Founder Coach

"Alex, I've got to give credit where it's due – your coaching has been a game-changer for me as the founder of 11x. When it comes to my leadership style, you've helped me dial it up a notch – sharper, more effective. The decisions I make now? More strategic and on point, and it's thanks to your guidance. Operating at my best is not just a phrase anymore; it's the reality.

The progress I've made under your coaching has translated directly into high-performance outcomes for the team and the company. Your insights have been a compass guiding me through many crucible moments, and the results are speaking volumes (e.g., went from 0 to >$1m ARR in 5 months and to Series B in under two years). Here's to more wins together, Alex!"

"I recently analysed the sequence of events that have led to the best decisions/breakthroughs for my company so far (such as getting into Y Combinator) and I realised that I could tie so many of them back to conversations with Alex. Alex is by far the strongest coach I have ever worked with. His ability to uncover hidden beliefs, test assumptions, and ask thoughtful questions that help anchor me back to the time investments that really matter is exceptional. Perhaps most importantly, working with Alex has made me realise that being a founder of a fast growing company does not need to be a chaotic and overwhelming endeavour, and that actually, by bringing the level of reflection and rigour to my thinking that Alex's coaching promotes, I can massively accelerate my company's progress whilst in parallel cultivate a healthy, balanced life that I rarely see other founders attaining."

"As a dynamic scale-up with a team of 850 FTE globally, we had the boon and bane to go through a long phase of hyperscaling. One growth pain was the silos that formed, with more than half of the company being newly hired and spread across 3 continents and 12 departments. This also included our cross-functional leadership group, which was struggling to operate as a unified team.

Alexander’s leadership team coaching approach to building trust between these leaders was transformative. His ability to facilitate constructive conflict and steer those conversations towards alignment, common goals and joint actions was pivotal. His work allowed us to move beyond individual interests to act as a cohesive entity, focused on the group’s success. For any scale-up grappling with the challenges of growth and team cohesion, I can warmly recommend Alexander."

"I highly recommend Alexander as an executive coach. As the CEO of IT4Kids a non-profit organization with 50+ people. I have seen tremendous results since we started working together. With his guidance, we have achieved +20k h of training for children, 4x growth in revenue, and 2x team size. Alexander helped me gain clarity and focus, make faster decisions, and improve my emotional intelligence as a leader. I feel more balanced and fulfilled in my work than ever before. Thank you, Alexander!"

"As a seasoned leader with over 20 years of experience, incl. VP of People in a fast-growing scale-up (+250FTE), I have high expectations on coaching. In our session, I was hoping to leave with a well-thought-out action plan to navigate my challenge. However, Alexander's approach was much more than that. He guided me through a deep reflection process, helping me clarify my values and decision-making criteria. These insights have been invaluable in guiding my actions and making sure they are aligned with what really matters to me. I highly recommend Alexander as an executive coach for anyone looking to achieve deep, transformative change."

Forget what you know about effective communication and listening. You can always improve, and this course was a really good inspiration. I think this course should be mandatory for all leaders. The great insight and the good discussions gave a lot of reflections for better communication. - Senior Manager, Lars Henrik F. The sessions were both inspirational as well as providing concrete tools to take with you. - Head of Lending Fraud Strategy, Louis A. This was an excellent opportunity to become a better leader. Going into this session, I knew that the way we communicate makes a very big difference. This session allowed me plenty of opportunities to consider how I used language to communicate effectively. I really enjoyed the format as well and a very good balance between sharing information and working in break-out groups. I will 100% recommend this session to all leaders. - Core Payments Platform Lead, Martin S.
