Transitioning founder-led sales teams into repeatable & scalable sales orgs | Growth & sales audits to identify gaps & bottlenecks | Sales Coach

Transitioning out of founder-led sales and into a scalable and repeatable sales team motion is tough. Have you tried to hire a VP of Sales and bet they could figure it out only to realize a costly mistake. Are you dealing with poor sales hires, missed revenue targets, no predictability and struggling to figure out how to make the transition?

Hi, Im Alex and here's how I help:

It starts with a sales assessment and diagnostic in your sales and GTM team and process. We dig into people, process, systems, enablement, strategy, hiring, and performance. We identify why the team is not selling, holes in your sales and marketing processes, and pinpoint what is stopping you from accelerating sales and building a high performing sales team.

These questions should be happening in your mind or I am the wrong person:
- I mis-hired multiple sellers and it is hurting growth
- I cannot transition out of founder led sales. The team is not generating enough business or new opportunities
- The VP of Sales I hired is not working out. Or, I fired my VP of Sales as the team was not selling
- My forecasts are inaccurate and consistently wrong. Im frustrated, the board is frustrated, what do I do?
- My revenue is peaking at $X million and I cannot break through it. Im not sure what else to do
- My sales process isn't working. The data is wrong. KPIs are needed, but something isnt't working right
- I need to generate more meetings and opportunities and what we have been doing isn't working

When we're done together, you'll have:
- a metrics-driven sales process that is repeatable and easy for others to follow
- accurate revenue forecasting dashboards, reports and KPIs
- KPIs to measure business health, growth, and identify issues
- Messaging that has been tested and converts
- A prospecting motion that generates new customers
- Onboarding & training plan that decreases ramp time + gets new hires productive fast
- Sales leadership role hired, trained, and productive executing the playbook
- New Customers!!!

Outside of work, I'm an avid skier, martial artist, wakeboarder, reader, & traveler.

Ghostwriter for Influential Executives and Entrepreneurs || Transforming Ideas into Influence Through High-Impact Writing || Former CEO, 2x Founder, 1x Exit

I’m a former CEO turned writer and coach. I help midlife professionals turn experience into leverage—through writing, clarity, and reinvention.

After scaling and selling a 7-figure software agency, I walked away from the startup grind to build a simpler, more intentional life.

Along the way, I discovered something powerful:
Most executives don’t need another job.
They need clarity—and a path that’s finally theirs.

Today, I work with high-achieving professionals in transition—those ready to move from corporate to consulting, from founder to writer, or from executive to entrepreneur.

Here’s how I help:

1. Executive Ghostwriting
For founders and CEOs who want thought leadership that drives inbound demand—without spending hours writing content. You bring the insight. I bring the structure, clarity, and voice that earns authority and attracts opportunity.

2. Executive to Entrepreneur Coaching
A 12-week 1:1 experience to help you reinvent your career, clarify your offer, build a simple content system, and land your first client.
It’s for professionals who are ready to turn experience into independence—building something of their own, on their own terms.

At the core of both is a simple idea:
Use your expertise to build leverage and freedom—because your next chapter should serve your life, not the other way around.

Writer

A ghostwriting agency for founders, CEOs, and business leaders looking to build influential personal brands.

If you're trying to build an audience on LinkedIn in 2026, the bottleneck is no longer word production. 
 
LinkedIn is overflowing with well-structured, informative posts that all sound like they came from the same source, using the same templates, frameworks, and strategies. 
 
The irony of AI making content creation faster is that standing out now takes longer. 
 
I use AI every day.  It's become an essential part of my workflow.  But if you're using AI to save time, you're missing the bigger opportunity.

The time you've saved on writing the words should get reinvested into thinking deeper and creating clarity around what you want to say.
 
The time commitment didn't shrink. It has shifted from writing to deeper thinking and embracing your humanity :).

Helping B2B Founders & CEOs Turn Their LinkedIn Presence into Pipeline & Opportunties • Executive Ghostwriter • Executive Communications Strategist • 3x Founder (1x Exit)

I was a LinkedIn lurker for years before ever publishing anything. Then I realized something. 

My best content had the simplest writing.  That's because value isn't derived from elegant prose.  In fact, I want to read people who sound like people.  That's why writing something for a 5-year-old is the best kind of writing. 

But most execs and / or high-profile professionals don't think this way initially.  

---- > In fact, the more you try to "sound smart," the more you wind up sounding like you have no idea what you're talking about. <----

You don't need to be a naturally good writer to build a strong executive presence and/or personal brand on here.

Most of the "top voices" aren't polished, but they 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 with people. That doesn't come from highly polished writing. 

If you’ve been holding back because you don’t feel “naturally good,” consider that your writing is so much more than elegant word assembly.  

The right message will connect with the right reader, and that's what matters most.
