Alex J. Baker

As the Founder of Abound AI, Alex advises Founders, CEOs, Business Owners, and Executives as their trusted growth partner. Since founding Abound AI in 2024, Alex has worked with over a dozen business leaders on the best ways to expand their companies. Alex collaborates with leadership teams on AI and technology strategies, helping them to define use cases, identify relevant critical problems, automate manual work, and center in on what drives profit.

With 18+ years of professional experience helping companies grow and building businesses, from startups to global enterprises, Alex empowers fellow Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders to create profitable companies by pairing strategic clarity with disciplined execution, leveraging strong executive relationships across his national and global network, and by building teams that enjoy winning together.

Prior to creating Abound AI, he served as Vice President of Business Development for North America at JAKALA, a global MarTech consultancy and agency, helping expand the firm’s client presence and partnerships across the region. Before that, he led enterprise sales at AnyClip, closing important SaaS contracts across industries and contributing to a significant fundraise. Earlier in his career, he held business development and partnership roles at Index Exchange, Integral Ad Science, and served on the leadership team of DOmedia. Alex started his career at Deloitte Consulting as a Human Capital Analyst.

Here’s what it’s like to work with him: He takes outcomes seriously, but believes how we get there matters just as much. Alex leads with empathy, integrity, and accountability. He cares deeply about nurturing long-term relationships, mentoring talent, building trust with colleagues and clients, and creating positive momentum. Alex is especially interested in how AI can responsibly reshape the way we work to complement human judgment rather than replacing it.

Personally, he’s passionate about philanthropic organizations and proactively giving back as a contributor to Band of Parents (BOP), a non-profit affiliated with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and MSK Kids in Manhattan. BOP funds research and better treatments nationwide for neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer. A portion of profits from Abound AI, LLC is donated to BOP to continue this fight.

Alex hold a B.S.B.A. in Finance from The Ohio State University Max M. Fisher College of Business and completed The Business Fundamentals & Tactics ‘mini-MBA’ program at General Assembly, with coursework development in conjunction with McKinsey. In September 2026, he’ll attend the Harvard Business School Executive Education virtual 8-week program on “Competing in the Age of AI.”
