About Alex Costa

I lead enterprise technology transformations in complex, growth-stage environments.Over the past 25+ years, I’ve specialized in carve-outs, ERP execution, post-acquisition integration, and operating model redesign across oil & gas, industrial, and logistics organizations. My focus is simple: stabilize performance, protect margin, and build scalable platforms that support long-term growth.At PSC Group, I led technology transformation during recapitalization and acquisition expansion, redesigning governance, core systems, and delivery models to support scale. Key initiatives included:• Enterprise Dayforce rollout eliminating manual payroll and time-entry workflows, automating billable contract integration with NetSuite, and identifying $1.5MM+ in recurring billing leakage within 30 days of go-live.• AI-driven automation across accounts payable and collections, reducing manual intervention and improving finance operating leverage.• NetSuite stabilization and billing control redesign to improve operational discipline.• $2.5MM+ annual cost optimization through vendor rationalization and FinOps governance.• Enterprise cybersecurity modernization aligned to NIST standards.Earlier in my career, I led multinational ERP transformations across five countries, built enterprise analytics platforms driving KPI transparency across manufacturing and logistics operations, and structured technology functions under SOX-aligned governance.I am particularly effective in high-change environments where execution speed, financial discipline, and operating structure matter more than theory.
