ALEX ELSON - CEC

As the founder of Unleashed Executive Coaching, I want to create an aura where people see and FEEL that I am an individual who has integrity, is trustworthy, and has a sincere and genuine
interest in them as human beings. I desire to help others create a mindset that inspires them to take a curious approach and guide THEM to identify “possibilities” in their lives that will nourish and allow for future growth, in anything they may do.

After more than 30 years as a Senior Executive in multiple disciplines, including Global Risk Management, Healthcare and Insurance, specializing in building businesses and turning around under-performing organizations, I have a proven track record for leading entire companies, and individuals, through the necessary (and sometimes painful) transformation to make positive and sustainable change.
