Bio
Tom Woollard
I would highly recommend Alex as a growth adviser for any technology start-up looking to achieve product / market fit or scale-up looking to ramp up customer acquisition. Alex has supported us at a couple of different points in our journey towards establishing product / market fit at Bunk. Initially, he consulted the team to gain clarity around the customer segment and value proposition, enabling us to focus our marketing messages accordingly. Most recently, he consulted the marketing team on the development of a viral growth engine which we will be using to roll-out customer acquisition.
Leyth Hampshire, MSc
Alex is one of the most hard-working, motivated and innovative minded leaders that I have had the pleasure of working with. At Pelico he led the line with future strategy, marketing (both physical and digital) as well as steering the organisations through multiple difficulties. His passion for learning and growing as an individual would ripple among the team and set the bar for the business. Finally, the tenacity and determination he showed was inspirational to the entire organisation and certainly had a positive impact on those he worked with. The journey we experienced together was second to none, I am excited for what his future holds as he is an asset to any organisation.
