I'm a hands-on operator who builds from zero to one. I've co-founded three companies, scaled teams across four cities, and mentored 40+ founders through university programs and accelerators. I write a weekly newsletter on freelancing, systems thinking, and building leverage. Based in Taipei, traveling monthly.

"The best operators don't just execute — they build the system that makes execution inevitable."

My core craft is operations— turning ambiguity into repeatable systems. Over 12 years I've built deep competence in team scaling, P&L management, and city-by-city expansion. On the strategic side, I advise on product strategy, fundraising, and market entry. I spend a growing share of my time on public speaking and mentorship, translating operator lessons into frameworks others can use.

Sarah Lin · CEO, ParkFlow
"His newsletter changed how I think about building leverage. Essential reading for anyone running a company."
Kevin Wu · Founder, StackLayer
"One session with Alex saved us from a hiring mistake that would have cost six months. He sees around corners."
Maya Huang · COO, FinBridge
