Your Partner for International Growth

I help premium brands build a sustainable presence abroad.

Not as a consultant. As a partner with skin in the game.

Aligned Accountability

A solid hanshake, signifying a partnership for success

You don’t get advice, You get Ownership.
You thrive, I thrive. I take responsibility for outcomes, not opinions. Incentives are shared.

Data-Driven Execution

A crossroad with multiple ways forward but one only clear option

Eliminate the guesswork. Decisions are tested in the market, iterated quickly, and scaled based on results—not locked into a waterfall investment plan.

Each engagement is built around your context, people, and culture — no templates, no cookie-cutter frameworks.

What I am not

Not a consultant

We don't bill hourly. We don't write reports that sit in drawers.

Not an agent

We don't take commission on transactions. We're not middlemen.

Not a service provider

We don't work for you. We work with you.

A venture partner

Between Italian excellence and Australian opportunity. Between family business wisdom and modern go-to-market.

We create the structures, systems, and relationships that enable sustainable growth.

Most international expansions don’t fail outright—they lose focus without local accountability

About me

Alessio Tixi smiling while looking down, engaged in conversation, with blurred people in the background.

I am an entrepreneur and tech leader. After founding and managing a consulting company in Shanghai in the early 2000s, I obtained an MBA at IE Business School and held Senior Management positions in Global roles for several global tech firms across Europe.

Today I work with selected entrepreneurs on products and projects that I strongly relate to and that have the potential for global success.
