Hi, I'm Alastair
I’m Alastair Hayes, a British-American executive consultant and coach with over 20 years of experience helping CEOs and senior leaders cut through complexity and turn their visions into reality.
My experience is in emerging industries and working with CEOs in early to mid-stage companies who need a thinking partner to break down complex business problems. I believe it's important to unpack these questions to help build the execution and leadership alignment necessary to turn vision into action.
If you’re facing any of these leadership challenges, a major transition, or just need an outside perspective–feel free to get in touch.

Executive Consultant & Coach
Strategic Decision-Making
Helping CEOs make faster, more confident decisions by clarifying priorities and creating accountability systems that drive results. By streamlining execution and removing roadblocks, I ensure leaders stay focused on what matters most.
Leadership Structure
I help businesses clarify and optimize their leadership structure so decision-making is efficient and aligned with company goals. Whether it’s defining executive roles, improving communication, or refining reporting lines, I work closely with leadership teams to create a framework that fosters accountability and clarity.
Scaling Strategies
Growth can be messy without the right foundation. I work with businesses to scale in a way that’s sustainable—whether that means refining operational models, sharpening go-to-market strategies, or ensuring leadership and processes evolve to support expansion. My approach combines strategic insight with practical execution, helping companies grow without losing focus.
Executive Coaching
Senior leaders often need a sounding board—someone who can help them navigate high-stakes decisions and organizational challenges. I provide executive coaching that’s direct, informal, and built on trust. I help leaders gain clarity, make confident decisions, and develop the skills to lead effectively, aligning personal and business success.
