A COO and systems-oriented business operator with a decade of experience building reTyre across commercial, finance, IT, legal, IP, people, governance and investor readiness.
My formal title has been COO. Functionally, I have stepped into business areas that lacked structure or were under pressure, learned what was needed, and built the routines, tools and ownership that made them work.
The functions change. The underlying pattern stays consistent.
Strategy, cash, customers, people, risk and decision rights are connected.
Clarify what is missing, repeatedly failing or sitting without an owner.
Routines, information, ownership and tools that people can actually use.
Keep decisions visible, adjust quickly and make progress measurable.
Stepped into finance leadership after the CFO transition and helped protect the company through the 2025 financing crisis.
Held full commercial responsibility until a dedicated CCO was hired.
Deep involvement in fundraising throughout the company's development.
Rolled out an AI-supported quality workflow for audit readiness.
I have led and contributed to strategy across financing, commercial direction, cost structure, organizational scaling, operating model and execution risk.
The distinctive part is integration. A funding decision changes hiring, production, customer commitments, risk and runway. I make those consequences visible and help convert the chosen direction into priorities and decision points.
I trust competent people but intervene when outcomes, risk or ownership drift from agreed milestones.
I train, explain, follow up and adjust the system if behavior or results do not change.
I turn ambition into practical priorities, ownership, routines and follow-through across functions.
Growing up around fjords and glaciers shaped a systems lens. Physical geography added a habit of looking at interacting forces, constraints and change over time.
Led Google Workspace, iPad and Chromebook adoption while teaching. This built the human side of change: clarity, support, control and different adoption speeds.
Founded a tenant-review SaaS platform, designed the product logic and user flow, recruited a development and marketing team, and managed outsourced developers.
Joined as COO and company builder. Held full commercial responsibility, then moved deeper into finance, administration, legal, IP, IT, governance, investor readiness and cross-functional strategy as the company evolved.
Founder-led or investor-backed companies with real complexity, cross-functional gaps and a need to scale without losing control.
COO, Chief of Staff, transformation lead, operational CEO or strategic operator mandates.
Narrow specialist roles, maintenance-only mandates or environments where the job is to preserve a process rather than improve it.
Highly bureaucratic structures with little ownership or access to consequential decisions.
Search a 100-question database shaped from three recruiter perspectives: venture-backed scale-up, industrial / manufacturing, and corporate transformation. The aim is depth without repetition, and answers grounded in Alexander's actual story, decisions and operating pattern.
