About Alex Elias
A down to earth leadership coach partnering with health tech founders on leadership, self-management, authentic pitch & presence, and high-performance team alignment.
Niche & Specialties:
- Founder Self-Management & Executive Resilience: Coaching founders through the mental and emotional demands of entrepreneurship. Developing self-awareness, emotional agility, time allocation, and boundary-setting to prevent burnout under intense pressure.
- Pitching the Founder & the Business: Helping technical and clinical founders articulate their personal narrative, build executive presence, and authentically "sell themselves" alongside their vision when communicating with investors, early hires, and partners.
- Building & Navigating Teams: Implementing strengths-based frameworks to structure early hires, align co-founder dynamics, navigate interpersonal friction, and build a resilient culture in lean, fast-moving health tech teams.
Background & Experience:
An active Strengths-Based Leadership and Executive Coach, I specialize in the human side of scaling high-growth ventures. Holding a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) designation, I partner with founders and technical leaders to translate clinical or engineering expertise into strong executive leadership. My coaching integrates actionable self-management toolkits with proven frameworks for co-founder alignment, talent strategy, and high-stakes communication. My wife also thinks I am fairly funny.
Favourite Types of Startups to Work With:
Early-stage health and medtech founders (Pre-Seed through Series A) who want to master self-leadership, build high-trust teams, and command the room when sharing their vision.
