Meet Alastair

Hi — I’m Alastair Hayes.

I partner with founders and CEOs who are building ambitious, fast-moving ventures — especially in emerging tech, digital assets, and mission-driven businesses.

You didn’t start your company to get bogged down in meetings, misalignments, unclear ownership, or stalled execution. But once you’ve got product-market fit or early traction, those are exactly the problems that slow you down.

I help teams turn operational complexity into clear decisions, stronger ownership, and reliable momentum — without adding bureaucracy or endless frameworks.

Why This Work Matters

The toughest challenges leaders face aren’t strategy problems — they’re execution problems:

unclear decision rights
people working at cross purposes
bottlenecks that no one owns
strategy that looks good on slides but doesn’t translate to action

I come in where things are hard in practice, not just in theory.

How I Work With Leaders

Most engagements look something like this:

Clarify decision ownership — who decides what, how, and when
Align leadership around outcomes and accountabilities
Design systems that scale with growth
Break patterns that are slowing traction

I can be a strategic thought partner, an interim head of operations, or a structured outsider who brings order to ambiguity — depending on what the business needs most.

Why My Perspective Is Different

I don’t just consult — I’ve built and operated businesses in high-velocity environments.

Alongside my advisory work, I’m a co-founder of a digital-asset trading firm where speed, risk, governance, and disciplined execution aren’t optional — they’re essential.

That experience keeps my work grounded in what actually works in the real world, not what looks clever on paper.

This isn’t academic strategy. It’s applied leadership and execution support.

Real Results (What Clients Actually Experience)

Clients choose to work with me because I don’t just identify problems — I help make progress on them. That usually looks like:

decisions get made faster
roles become clearer
teams are more aligned
execution becomes consistent
