Alex M.

I help entrepreneurs get from their current state to some desired future state. I run a business consulting firm called The Business Sherpas because getting to a successful outcome is a lot like climbing a mountain. It's always a tricky endeavor with lots of ways to go wrong, but if you have a guide, then your chances are greatly improved. Business is my mountain, and I know it like the back of my hand. I can help you with Strategy, Planning, and Execution. I use the fact-based, analytical approach used by the major consulting firms, but bring a more personalized touch for small and medium businesses. Businesses need different types of help. Sometimes that's strategy work like business plans, financial models, and go-to-market strategy, sometimes that's operational help like being a fractional COO or project management, and sometimes it's finding the right expert in a functional area to help you with one aspect of your business. I have been helping companies for 10+ years. From startup to Fortune 100, from no revenue to millions, I've helped them all, and I can help you. About me: • trained software engineer of 20 years • management consultant of 10+ years • serial entrepreneur • MBA, University of Chicago, Booth School of Business • Financial and Business Modeling Cert. - Wharton • Tech Entrepreneurship Cert. - Stanford • Data Science Cert. - Johns Hopkins In addition to my consulting work, I have also been on the founding team of several startups - two of them tech based, and mentor a number of others.
