Alex has helped clients get into these companies:
Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in finance and artificial intelligence, I bring a wealth of experience to career development coaching. As a Principal at Apex Advisory, I have provided strategic advice and financial modeling to early and growth-stage companies, while also mentoring high-potential students through our training programs. I started my career in investment banking in the M&A team at BMO, moved to help ecobee raise their Series C round, and have worked with private and public technology companies as part of a private equity group. My academic journey includes an MBA from the Rotman School of Management and a Master of Management in Artificial Intelligence from Queen's University, where I have also served as an advisor and instructor. Having coached over 100 individuals, I am passionate about helping clients navigate their career paths, leveraging my expertise in finance, AI, and strategic consulting.
