I'm Alexander Thiel
he/they. CTO, Founder, Advisor.
About Me
I thrive when solving complex problems. I'm happy, committed, ambitious and sociable. I create space to be awesome for my teams. I scaled several startups as CTO and spent a climate sabbatical deploying civic engagement projects with major NGOs.
Today, I'm building a caring high-performance environment at Atlas Metrics. With our technology, companies improve their environmental, social, and governance performance. It's a dream: Traction, complexity, powerful data, scale, a rapidly evolving environment and positive systemic impact. But most importantly: An outstanding team.
Let's talk about tech, climate, our social fabric, coming discontinuities, art, and self-care!
CTO & Co-Founder
I help shape company-strategy and translate it into product/tech strategy and a fast-moving tech org, empowering tech teams and leaders to build user-centric software that scales.
(Technical) Due Dilligence
I work with investors and funds to scrutinize startups' team, business model, and their ability to deliver the technolgy needed to succeed.
Startup Mentoring
I help hackathons and company builders support their startups and identify most promising investment candidates.
Architecture & Code
Startups need software that fits their growth. I've built prototypes, led the long-term migration and refactoring projects and built cuting-edge reactive microservice architectures when needed.
Tech Recruitment
Recruitment is the first step in a continuous personal development process. Top talent demands not just a good product and modern technologies but also an inclusive culture and regular and frequent feedback and goal setting.
Climate Systems Thinker
I spent two years working with the world's most impactful activists, scientists, and founders to build a comprehensive understanding on what technical and cultural pathways have positive climate impact; and which ones don't.
