  • Business Strategy Clarity
    Guest: Alex Brueckmann
    In his mid 20s, Alex Brueckmann had to rethink his career trajectory and shifted from being a music journalist and DJ to learning how businesses and the economy work. He studied General Management at European Business School (Germany) and Universidad ORT (Uruguay). Spoiler alert: business strategy was not Alex’s favorite subject… This passion developed over time, first when he joined a global media corporation and helped restructure a division.
    Alex became a management consultant specializing in strategy facilitation. He wanted to avoid seeing mass redundancies ever again and started to help businesses understand the need to create momentum even when they’re still sailing smoothly. Alex worked with some of the biggest brands in automotive, healthcare, tech, telco, finance, and service industries to help them create future proof organizations with clear targets and the tools and processes to make them a reality. He kept learning and earned certificates from INSEAD (France), Harvard Business School (USA), and a number of executive coaching related certifications. 
    Alex developed his own approaches based on what he had learned over two decades, to make it accessible for small and medium sized businesses to get clarity and grow their revenue. Alex has done this using tailored strategies and tools that reduce friction, stress and overwhelm, and allow them to create actionable plans that achieve their goals.
