"I just wanted to express my gratitude for the work performed and the collaboration that took place with our team. To say I’m extremely pleased with the results would be an understatement. The quality and quantity of work performed is as good as anything I’ve been a part of in my career, and I appreciate the long hours and extra effort it took to deliver on those commitments."
-Client, Director of Engineering
"I couldn't be more pleased with how this effort turned out. I just presented the findings, and it was a series of positive exclamations (e.g., "This is so cool!", "This is exactly what we were looking for!", "These prototypes are beautiful!", etc.). Having spent about a decade as a consultant, I wasn't sure how I'd feel being on the other side. Turns out it's ridiculously awesome!"
-Client, Leadership
“Phenomenal work, super collaborative – it exceeded expectations. You took to heart our objectives; this was not at all like the other efforts we’ve done with other consultants.”
-Client, C-Suite Leadership
"In the time that I worked with Alex, he demonstrated intellectual stamina, creativity, extraordinary leadership skills and professionalism, in the face of some high pressure and tight deadlines."
-Client, Leadership

engineering with industrial design and research to build physical products, especially in new-to-market / new-to-world scenarios. He has strong client hands, client leadership, and people leadership skills."
-Mckinsey & Company Leadership
