Alex Papo

Alex spent a decade at McKinsey, the last six years designing and running leadership development for over 2,000 senior leaders globally. He built the operating infrastructure that makes high performance repeatable at scale: the systems, rhythms, decision frameworks, and coaching architecture that some of the most demanding organizations in the world use to develop their best people.

He brings that same rigor to his clients at Elevation Partners, where he works with founders, CEOs, and their senior leadership teams to drive performance in their organizations. He partners with executives to expand their ambition, get clarity on what their role actually requires, build teams that perform without constant oversight, and install the operating infrastructure that lets great leadership compound over time.

His clients include PE-backed operators scaling across multiple sites, investment banking executives in transition, and CEOs navigating the gap between the company they built and the one it needs to become. The work is specific, contextual, and grounded in what actually changes performance, not what sounds good in a framework.
