MBA. Product Manager. Entrepreneur.
At 5 years old, I started trying to sell rocks to the mailman. Growing up I owned half a dozen different companies. I’ve never been afraid of approaching anyone and asking for a sale. I’ve spent hundreds of hours going door to door and cold-calling, and while I don’t exactly want to do that my whole life, the experience has really taught me a thing or two. I’ve spent the last few years as a technical consultant for one of the largest consulting firms in the world where I learned how to code and take software from an idea all the way to customers. I work to improve the world with my natural entrepreneurial ability, sales skills, technical savvy, and positive personality.

On multiple occasions, I saw Axel present to large and small groups, giving trainings on various teaching/communication skills. I remember one presentation in particular that was given to a group of about 14 people regarding effective listening -- not just hearing what somebody is saying, but acting as a sounding board and confirming what they are saying to fully understand what they are actually meaning to get across. This training has stuck with me for years and I reflect on it often.
Axel possesses extremely good innovative acumen. Time and again he has come up with innovative solution to address problems. For example, he applied innovative techniques to implement scanning solution requirements, that resulted in better visibility and increased efficiency in business operations.
In the years we worked together you were ALWAYS calm. There were times I knew you were under pressure but you never appeared flustered or upset or stressed. You managed yourself so professionally and still expressed and showed greater concern for those around you.
Our scout troop runs a fund raiser where we post flags in neighbors' yards on national holidays. When Axel inherited this project as a new scoutmaster, he saw about a dozen ways it could be done better, and set about implementing each of them. Of course he immediately employed current technology solutions to streamline both the order-taking and logistical processes, but he was just as capable on the low-tech side, conceiving of better ways to come at the entire project conceptually. The fund-raiser never ran better than when Axel was at the helm.
I've always been passionate about innovation. Never satisfied with the status quo, I'm great at finding cheaper, better, faster ways to do all sorts of things. If you feel like this is you, I’d love to work with you. Say hello@axelhawker.com
