Alex Steffen, praised as “a leader who listens” by Microsoft CIO Anna Kopp, has built a reputation for working with high-profile leaders in business and politics. His collaborations include Mercedes’ CEO, the German Minister of Transportation, the Swiss Armed Forces, and the former CMO of Zumba Fitness. A three-time best-selling author in the field of management and an award-winning motivational speaker, Alex has delivered keynotes and seminars to audiences spanning 170 countries.

Driven by the belief that positive change stems from inspiring thought leaders, Alex recognized a common challenge: many brilliant experts struggle to have their message heard in a way that creates lasting impact. This realization fueled his mission to help leaders craft compelling stories and brands that make their ideas soar.

Alex's personal resilience is his signature. Having triumphed over cancer as a child, he frequently reframes life’s challenges as exciting opportunities—whether that’s piloting the 20,000 km Mongol Rally from Prague to Lake Baikal, DJing at Burning Man, or turning around a crisis on an oil rig in the Amazon rainforest. Stay tuned for more of Alex’s captivating insights in his TEDx talk, "Why Thought Leaders – Not Activists – Will Change the World."
