Bio
Anna Oldre
I worked with Alex to develop an on-demand training course for Salesforce employees looking to learn how to write 6-pager narratives. Teaching a skill like business writing -- particularly in a virtual, on-demand format that must be both informative and approachable to learners of all different levels -- is incredibly complex. I was impressed by the organized way Alex approached the project: Starting with user research helped him understand common frustrations and needs. He then translated these into course objectives and came up with creative ways to communicate information to learners. He leveraged his team effectively (creatives, subject-matter experts, stakeholders) to ensure the resulting outcome not only met but exceeded expectations. Overall I would be delighted to work with him again!

I worked with Alex on a project to reimagine the way we create and deliver education to our field employees in multiple areas of the business. His ability to ignite the room with his passion for education created a unique environment fo the incubation of next level trainings. He is an outstanding thought partner that has a lot to offer any company looking to shake things up and try a new ways of training.

I worked with Alex on a project to rearchitect our education strategy. Alex led our team through reimagining education in a way backed by the science of learning and development. His methodical and organized approach to projects, as well as his clear communication, kept everyone along on the journey as we moved at a brisk pace. He remained focused on the end goal and distilled complex ideas without losing sight of the details. Before finishing our time together, Alex ensured we were set up to continue our project with vision and momentum. It was a pleasure working with him and I hope to work with him again in the future.
