Alex Devereux
Alex Devereux, the Founder of The Devereux Group has always focused on demystifying and making improvements to challenging situations by producing winning, sustainable outcomes with a futuristic approach to management solutions. As a highly respected and trusted leader, many of his clients from New York to Los Angeles, Japan to Hong Kong, Israel to Ghana have been seeking advice from him for decades.
Alex believes in building sustainability through non-zero-sum gain and works to create win-win relationships. For example, one long-time wealth management client launched the first Open-Ended Fund Company (OFC) in Hong Kong. To top it off, she is a female executive. Another client garnered a 23% year-over-year increase on a $395M budget with a non-selling customer service team. His team achieved half of the $90M goal from new and recovered business in less than two quarters.
In Alex’s new book, SMART Decision Making in a New Tech Paradigm, he describes how to develop competencies for making reliable and predictable decisions faster with consistency and the least amount of resistance and anxiety. This book is especially applicable for organizational leaders who find themselves paralyzed and unable to trust their quick decision-making process in the middle of chaos where they must change to adjust quickly to a paradigm shift in their industry or economy.
Alex has a structural engineering degree from IIT (Illinois Tech) in Chicago. He has an MBA, a Masters in eLearning Technology and Design, and another Masters in eLearning Corporate Training and Knowledge Management graduating magna cum laude; a graduate of the Jonah Program® AGI, Goldratt Institute and is a certified Knowledge Manager and Knowledge Environmental Engineer.
