Why Work With Alan
I’m not just a coach—I’ve lived the leadership grind.
For over 25 years, I’ve led teams and shaped culture across industries including aerospace, hospitality, and financial services. I’ve supported leaders through mergers, growth, and reinvention—always with a focus on clarity, confidence, and long-term success.
