About Alex Amsden

I am a Strategy and Transformation executive with 16 years of experience helping organizations turn strategy into operational reality. My work centers on clarifying priorities, aligning leaders, accelerating decision making, and building the culture and operating model needed for sustained performance.As a VP at BTS, I lead strategy activation and enterprise transformation across technology, healthcare, biopharma, financial services, retail, and CPG, driving faster execution, improved commercial outcomes, and leadership behaviors that support scale. I also helped build and grow the firm’s transformation practice, standing up new offerings in strategy activation, operating model change, culture, M&A integration, and leading a global team of transformation experts.Clients rely on me to cut through complexity, focus the organization, and guide teams through the moments that determine whether a transformation succeeds. I bring clarity, alignment, and execution discipline to environments where strategy, people, and performance must come together to deliver results that last.
