I’m Alex Ruiz, a seasoned operator with 20 years in tech and a Stanford MBA. I’ve led teams at Google, founded and scaled my own company, and advised 25+ startups through growth, pivots, and exits.
My focus is helping ambitious teams grow faster and smarter. In my COO and fractional COO roles, I’ve scaled companies to $100M+ ARR, built leadership teams that last, and created operating systems that turn growth goals into reality.
