I build systems that scale people and products.
12 years co-founding companies, managing teams from 3 to 60+, and advising founders across SaaS, marketplaces, and fintech.
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."
— from The Operator's Playbook, Issue 47

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.
"Alex turned our messy operations into a system that runs itself. The best operator I've worked with — bar none."
"His newsletter changed how I think about building leverage. Essential reading for anyone running a company."
"One session with Alex saved us from a hiring mistake that would have cost six months. He sees around corners."
Why Every Operator Needs a Decision Journal
The single habit that improved my decision quality more than any framework or MBA course. I started keeping one in 2019 after a string of bad calls at ParkFlow — three years later, it's the most valuable tool in my arsenal.
