Data Team Leader (Publishing)

I help teams ship software that actually works - scalable, maintainable, and built to last. 

With 25+ years in tech, I’ve seen every software disaster imaginable - from legacy code, nobody dares to touch to cloud migrations that “should be easy”. My job? Keep teams focused, stakeholders informed, and software delivered- while still being hands one and without unnecessary drama.

My expertise is modernising legacy systems, integrating cloud solutions, and leading teams through complex software transitions. I’ve worked in startups, government, and large enterprises, where I focus on removing bottlenecks, streamlining development, and helping all do their best work.

Great software is as much about people as it is about technology. A good plan, clear priorities, and a team that understands the goal make all the difference. Whether it’s technical strategy, stakeholder alignment, or making tough decisions that keep projects moving, I thrive in bringing structure and clarity to software delivery.

Founder

Founder of Galadon.io | Sell More With AI

I built a 7-figure agency, successfully scaled 5+ SaaS companies, authored a bestselling book on cold emailing, and grew a YouTube channel to over 100K subscribers. Married with 1 son (and counting)

As the founder of the Galadon Gold, I’m helping entrepreneurs like you consistently land 5 new clients every month by implementing proven strategies for lead generation and sales. As a Gold member, you'll gain access to a library of high-converting cold email scripts, personalized coaching, and live weekly calls designed to scale your business fast.

If you're ready to stop guessing and start growing, join Galadon Gold today, and let’s make those 5 new clients a reality every month! Hit that link in my bio to join 🤫

I was watching to a youtube video on parenting and how to prevent tantrums with kids - it's a little early but hey, whatever. The video talked about how: if your kid asks for candy in a store... and if you KNOW that eventually after a lot of crying etc you will buy them candy... Just get them the candy and save the crying. And I realized - it's the same thing in business:

You KNOW you have to send cold emails, or raise or prices...

Or even make cold calls.

But instead of doing it now... you're having the equivalent of a tantrum with yourself.

Saying you'll do it someday.

Or coming up with excuses like "cold email is better I don't need to cold call" or "I'll just use free info, there can't possibly be anything new behind a paywall"

And then months tick by

Money dwindles

Savings accounts waste away

And then what?

You join Galadon Gold. You send the emails. You make the calls.

And your money starts to refill.

So all I'm saying to you today is... why wait?

Join the group and I'll talk to you soon.

-Alex

P.S. Around 190 spots left in this thing - after that I won't be doing 1 on 1 onboarding calls with every member, so if you really want to talk to me specifically, act fast.

Scale Your Agency for only $497/Month (14,000 Clients Served)

I watched one of our sales reps last night do a call with a potential member who COULD NOT stop comparing us to the other paid groups out there. It sounded like this guy had talked to everyone and was comparing value.. not the smartest use of his time as 1 hour of taking action is worth 10+ hours of price shopping

But as somebody who is committed to building the best value in paid groups and pulling down this walled garden of information... I enjoyed listening in - because we win on every point.

So in case you were wondering, before you go talk to the other business groups out there, here's are 3 red flags you'll see:

1) You HAVE to talk to a closer and the pricing is not listed anywhere

This is a common pricing tactic to figure out how much money you can afford... and then they will charge at that level

Get in one of these funnels and after joining you might find out the guy next to you paid 10k more than you for the same thing...

Or worse, you're that guy to somebody else.

Galadon Gold has 1 flat price. $497 a month. And you don't have to get sold to by a closer. But if you want, my wife will give you a call after you fill in your application.

Onto the next red flag

2) HIGH pricing and minimums

So you join, and you like the monthly price of a paid group (average pricing is 1k or more a month) but it's sketchy so you want to cancel.

Well guess what? You can't.

You signed a year long contract and now you need to pay it or face consequences.

This is also a common agency pricing strategy, but we're doing differently at the Galadon Gold

Because I think that YOU as the student know whether it will work for you quick.

And if you find out even after a month that you're not committed to doing the work or if the quality isn't what you like

Then you should be able to move on quick.

Don't get caught in a cycle of debt joining program after program

That's stupid, ridiculous... and common

3) They IGNORE You

Just had a Gold member join and tell me all about the last one he was in

Who unfortunately was taught by one of our former students (but hey, every cold email program is - haha)

This guy, after joining their group, had to wait DAYS for his replies.

This is what happens when you pay all up front.. there's NO INCENTIVE for the program owners or coaches to help you.

So, as you can see here we've put together quite the offer for you:
* A one on one with me (worth 4k)
* 4x calls every single week (worth 6k/month)
* 30+ hours of courses on growing your business
* Cancel anytime with no contract, no closing call and no BS

Seriously.

Why don't the other guys offer this? Because they suck.

Join Galadon Gold now.

-Alex

Yesterday was a big day for Galadon Gold - we added 3 members back to back to back. One of these new members, asked a question before joining: "Hey Alex, Does Galadon Gold include Clay setup?" There's no way, right?

Clay is an advanced cold email tool which makes your lead generation and cold email processes a lot more customized

and agencies on the market are built around building out these clay automations

They literally charge 15k for this.

"Yep, included."

Basic and advanced. We will setup clay with you, on the coaching calls together.

OF COURSE WE WILL.

Because this entire Galadon experience is about holding nothing back.

About tearing down that 10k wall that every other guru tries to put up.

Hoarding information - most of which I came up with in the first place.

So, let's make it affordable.

If you join Galadon Gold, we will help you setup advanced AI flows with Clay, we'll manage your Smartlead/Instantly.ai dashboard.

We'll write your linkedin automation flows.

Because I wouldn't have it any other way.

Is this the best value in paid groups that has ever existed?

Yes. And that's why you gotta get in here before we come to our senses and either 10x the price or shut it down.

So, are you joining today?

Talk soon,
Alex

Had a woman respond back to yesterday's email with a simple question "what's the offer?" So let me make this super clear:

1. You get access to ALL of our courses - it's well over 30 hours of professional level tactical content on closing deals, setting up cold email systems, growing on linkedin, heck we even have a course in there about how to negotiate a raise.

So you get all that - which we used to sell for $249-$997 PER COURSE (and now you can't even buy those courses anywhere except here)

We update these courses 4x a week because:

2. You get 4x coaching calls. Every single week. Two on cold calling and events, and two on cold email.

These are not lectures. Our coaches will login to your accounts and make changes live (if you let them).

This is to make sure that you get value because you also get

3. A promise. If you stay in here for 3 months and do everything we say. And if you don't get 5-10 clients.. we'll refund everything you paid us.

This is to make this stupid valuable and bring all those other BS groups to their knees.

and if that wasn't enough

4. you also get a one on one call with me ($200m in sales, grew 2 agencies to over $1m a month, multiple company sales, bestselling author) and you can ask me ANYTHING on that call.

If you just tried to get that call - it would cost $4,000 - and people have paid that amount recently.

Oh, and did I mention it's not $12,000 but only $497/month with no commitment?

So when I say this is the paid group killer, the deal to end all deals and the ONLY program you should join in order to grow your business - I mean it.

Join Galadon Gold before we close access.

I'm counting on you to make the right choice.

-Alex

Back at the Wynn coffee shop after spending the last few days at a different hotel and I gotta say, the energy here is just different. Better people, higher energy.

Even if I don't talk to anyone and I just go heads down writing this email - somehow just being close to high performers increases both the quality and the effectiveness of these messages. And maybe it's all in my head but here's the thing...

It doesn't matter.

At the end of the day a conversion is a conversion. A client is a client and it doesn't matter what you have to do in order to make it happen

The fact that YOU make it happen is all that matters.

I had two people yesterday ask me if Galadon Gold is a course.

They think courses cause procrastination "I don't need another course" they both said.

And I kinda agree - you don't need another course.

But what you do need is your own version of the Wynn coffeeshop in Vegas

You need people with energy around you, all working toward the same goal.

And if getting access to that also comes with 30+ hours of courses, a one on one with a multi 7 figure entrepreneur and coaching/implementation calls 4x a week... then all that stuff is just a bonus.

So, are you joining today? Would love to let you in.

Talk soon,
Alex

I might have a problem... I see writing as a meditation of sorts - a daily practice where the joy of going to a spot, getting a coffee, opening the laptop and writing is matched only by the joy of the Stripe notifications that come in every time we hit send.

Helping our Galadon Gold members get more and better clients is one thing - and a very repeatable thing at that - but my favorite thing is helping them see the freedom that is possible in life.

I have no weekly repeating calls.

I have no one on ones with the team.

No sales calls with customers.

No fulfillment or fire put-out calls.

All I have is calm beauty.

Whether that's a mountain in the Himalayas or the rotating bagel sign in the fountainbleu food court.

I want that for you. And I know you can have that.

Because I'm not some 22 year old who just made it big.

I've lived this life now since 2014, over 10 years:

Ever since I decided to work from home one day and realized I could work from anywhere.

Do you want the same? Join Galadon Gold before we shut off access.

Talk to you soon.
Alex

P.S. If you're thinking "is this right for me?" the answer is yes. Jump in.

I reviewed a sales call yesterday with a real coin collector. And I don't mean some dude that's chasing gold or minting coins or whatever. I mean a man *obsessed* with what everyone else is doing:

Did you know Hormozi just bought a new yacht?

Iman Ghadzi is doing xyz?

Brad Lea just posted about his latest whatever

And all I can think when I hear stuff like that is... counting other people's net worth will NEVER increase yours.

I could type it again you could just read it a second time: Counting other people's net worth will NEVER increase yours.

Ask me what Hormozi is doing. Or even what he posted.

I have no idea.

You could ask dozens of actual business people and get the same answer.

We not only do not know. We do not care.

It's irrelevant to our businesses.

Because when we're building out cold email systems for B2B businesses, or grinding away at a SaaS, or going monk mode in another country for 6 months to work on something that will change the lives of our wives, our kids and our kid's kids... whether somebody went to miami or LA last night is not just irrelevant.. it's poisonous.

If this is you AT ALL, I need you to cut it out and just focus on growing your business.

Following the lives of these gurus will take you down in the longterm.

If you want to actually focus and get some sh*t done in a space free from ranting about super cars or models, then join the Galadon Gold.

Interest has been rapidly picking up, so I'm not sure how long we'll be able to hold this offer or pricing (it's super cheap right now at $497/month)

Are you in?

Talk soon,
Alex

You know how tempting it is every day to write a post like "I'm here eating a cheese danish - it's simple: you got butter, cheese, bread.. put them together and get this danish. Just like you can grow your business by following a recipe" But it's not that simple is it?

Let's call it "fairly" simple.

Meaning I *could* say - to grow your agency you need to leverage 3 main channels that will flood you with leads:

1. Cold Email
2. Cold Calling
3. Going to industry conferences

And I could stop there with the advice.

Because it's fairly simple to point you in that direction.

But are you going to make calls?

Are you going to go to an event?

How many of us have been to an event in the last 6 months?

I mean, *I have* because I don't teach theory and had to stress test all these lead gen methods..

But have you?

When's the last time your guru made a cold call?

Or hard pitched somebody who clearly didn't want it?

Enough advice from people that haven't acted.

Enough of this "I have a private jet so you should listen to me" BS

Join Galadon Gold and start taking action. We're here for accountability and to share what's really working as of right this second.

Now, excuse me - I got a danish to enjoy.

Talk soon,
Alex

P.S. Two members joined yesterday, so we're getting closer to closing out than ever before. Get in here.

Had a client come in that worked in a heavily regulated industry - regulated to the point that they were scared to do email outreach.

Did you know for example in most states that cold email for lawyers is fineable?

Outside of can-spam or any US laws, if a lawyer does outreach wrong they could get more than just get a little slap on the wrist. They could potentially lose their ability to practice.

Of course there are loopholes, but since this is an agency email list and not one for lawyer marketing we can skip the book worth of research that goes through how we finally figured out how to do it legally.

Instead I want to talk about one channel that you can use even if you're worried about the legality of cold email... LINKEDIN!

This is one of the last platforms that still allows for automation, and actually encourages the use of AI engagement and commenting (they are owned by Microsoft who also owns ChatGPT)

Is that killing the platform quickly? Sure I can't even read my own comments.

But is that good for you - the guy who wants to book a ton of meetings for their agency? You bet.

Inside the group, we will write your linkedin outreach scripts, optimize your profile

And get you setup with tools that will help you do a lot of this hands off

So that outreach can happen while you're warming up your cold email inboxes.

Nothing sketchy, nothing uncouth, just darn good linkedin outreach that works.

Oh, and it's included in Galadon Gold (even though anyone else would charge for at least 2k for it)

Why? You gotta know by now.

Galadon Gold is the End All Be All. The only group you'll ever need to join both as a beginner and as an advanced person.

And it's only $497 a month.

Are you joining today?

I'll talk to you soon,
Alex

P.S. If you're wondering about quality - one Galadon Gold member got... no joke.. 200 connects off of 250 messages sent. So yeah, we're the quietly the best in the industry (🤫)

If you're looking for cheap ecommerce leads ... this is the place:

The new Store Leads scraper is live on ScraperCity:

Selling to ecommerce stores is annoying:

You buy stale lists, scrape random sites, or manually hunt stores one by one. And even when you find them, you still don’t know what platform they’re on, what tools they use, or who to contact.

So you spray. You guess. You waste time.

That’s why we built the Store Leads Scraper.

It lets you generate your own lead lists from 14M+ ecommerce stores across Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, and more.

Instead of pulling “all Shopify stores,” you can pull things like:

California apparel brands using Klaviyo but no SMS  
Outdoor stores on WooCommerce missing email marketing  
BigCommerce brands running outdated themes  

Each store comes with real contact info plus full tech stack - apps, themes, features, location.

So outreach stops being random.

Pricing is simple: $0.0039 per lead.  
Your free $5 covers roughly 1,280 stores.

Export to CSV. Drop into your CRM. Launch.

No scraping mess.  
No guessing.  
No garbage data.

If you sell to ecommerce, this removes most of the friction.

Head to ScraperCity to try it.

Comment what you sell if you want a couple targeting angles.

I just spent 5 hours with the family driving to LA to try this one truffle pasta dish that had been in my head since I saw a picture of it online in 2022... And it wasn't that good. BUT you can bet I won't be thinking about that truffle pasta again. And this was something I was thinking about - maybe once or twice a month for 2 years..

10 min each time..

That's 240 minutes per year of ruminating.. of fantasizing..

Wasted brain processing time that is now freed up.

I don't want this pasta ever again, and now my brain is free. Heck I barely ever want to go back to Beverly Hills.

If you do that for enough of your constant thoughts, you can live in a true state of zen, with nothing that isn't important creeping into your mind.

Hence why now I can focus on telling you about this Clay setup offer.

Because this is real financial arbitrage.

Inside Galadon Gold, we have this thing, that every other guru is teaching how to setup for 9k or more...

And we're giving you access to the best secrets AND doing the setup along with you...

For only $497 a month with no contract, no closing call needed, literally no BS.

Why? Because I think it's funny.

When I learned Clay, I was concerned:

Everyone was talking about this tool like it's the next best thing in lead generation:

"Oh you can add AI agents to your leads and get super relevant outreach messages...

But be careful it's COMPLICATED"

And what happened?

I spent 15 minutes on messing with Clay and built our entire flow for Galadon...

We sent the emails and the AI generated leads gave us right next to 200k in pipeline...

With 15 freaking minutes of setup.

BUT people want to charge 9k for this?

Let's just help you do the same in 15 minutes as well.

Or heck be a little slower than me and just spend the amount of time I spent fantasizing about that pasta.

Is it worth 2 hours of your time and $497 a month to add another 200k to your pipeline?

Join Galadon Gold and let's do this.

-Alex

P.S. This offer won't last long, we had 3 signups and multiple onboarding calls since Tuesday, we stumbled on gold with this.
