About

13+ years of leading marketing, growth, and go-to-market across early to growth-stage startups, from Seed to Series D. I specialize in building scalable strategies, high-performing teams, and programs that deliver real business outcomes. Most recently, I led go-to-market at Elly.ai, helping recruiters save 5+ hours a week through AI-powered automation (call notes, summaries, job descriptions, and more). Before that, I’ve had the privilege of working with and leading incredible teams and founders at Landed, Capchase, Lambda School, and Mission Lane, owning everything from growth strategy and brand positioning to sales enablement and marketing ops. I’m proud of: A strong track record of driving revenue and pipeline growth My ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution Earning the trust of founders, executives, and cross-functional partners Building teams, mentoring talent, and creating cultures people want to be part of I also advise startups on their early scaling efforts: growth experimentation, hiring roadmaps, GTM planning, through my consulting work. Reach out at alex@lovesgrowthconsulting.com if you’re hiring for a marketing/growth leadership role or just want to talk shop. Outside of work, I’m either watching bootleg new wave concerts on YouTube, yelling at footballers on TV, reading obscure historical bios, or working out under duress.
