Alex’s Business Analytics & Intelligence Qualifications
Experience level: Vice President
I’ve spent my career building and leading analytics organizations from the ground up — not just the systems and dashboards, but the people and decision-making cultures behind them. As Vice President of Analytics at UnitedHealth Group, I lead a global Reporting, Analytics & Data (RAD) team that supports Procurement, Real Estate, ESG, M&A, and other enterprise functions. My work sits at the intersection of business strategy, data science, and leadership — where numbers meet nuance. That experience gives me a rare vantage point: I understand both the technical realities of analytics (data modeling, infrastructure, AI, automation) and the human realities of influence (how to communicate complexity, earn trust, and lead through ambiguity). I’ve guided hundreds of analysts, engineers, and product professionals as they’ve grown into managers, directors, and executives — helping them move from being the smartest person in the room to the one who makes everyone else smarter. My coaching integrates structured leadership science with practical business insight — drawing from Stanford’s Interpersonal Dynamics, Adaptive Leadership, The Advisory Board’s executive development frameworks, and years of firsthand experience managing large, high-stakes analytics transformations. In short: I don’t just understand analytics as a discipline — I’ve lived it as a leader. That makes my coaching both technically grounded and deeply human, helping data professionals grow into strategic, emotionally intelligent executives who can turn insight into impact.

About Alex
I’m a builder by nature — of teams, systems, and people. Professionally, I’ve spent my career helping organizations turn data into decisions and decisions into leadership growth. As Vice President of Analytics at UnitedHealth Group, I lead a global team that connects the dots between insight and action, bringing structure to complexity and clarity to chaos. But behind every dataset is a human story — and that’s where my real work begins. My passion is coaching analytical minds to lead with both precision and empathy. I work with data professionals who are stepping into leadership — people who think in systems, care about truth, and sometimes need a little help remembering that influence isn’t always logical. My coaching style blends structure with soul, drawing from Stanford’s Interpersonal Dynamics, Adaptive Leadership, and the belief that growth is less about adding more, and more about uncovering what’s already there. Outside of work, I’m a dad, a husband, a lifelong learner, and a big believer in experimentation — in business, in fitness, in parenting, in life. Whether I’m coaching an executive, debugging a model, or building LEGO towers with my kids, my philosophy stays the same: clarity creates freedom, faith fuels courage, and action builds everything else.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve seen what happens when smart, capable people hit invisible walls — not from lack of skill, but from lack of clarity, confidence, or connection. Especially in data and analytics, we train people to solve problems, but not always to lead through them. Coaching is how I help bridge that gap. For me, coaching isn’t about fixing people; it’s about revealing them — helping leaders see what’s really driving their choices, how their systems shape their behavior, and what might be possible if they led with more intention and trust. I coach because I believe in growth that’s both analytical and human. The kind that measures progress, but also feels it. The kind that builds leaders who think clearly, act courageously, and bring others along for the ride. And honestly — I coach because it changes me too. Every conversation reminds me how much potential sits just under the surface, waiting for the right question, the right pause, or the right kind of faith to bring it to life.
