Hi, I'm Alex Stillings
At my foundation, I'm a problem solver. And the first thing I do with every problem is ask a question that sounds almost too simple: "What problem are we actually trying to solve?"
I come back to that question constantly — because in my experience, people often arrive with a solution already in mind. They've Googled it, a friend recommended something, or they saw an ad. And sometimes they're right. But more often, the real problem is hiding underneath the one they brought me. My job is to find it, name it, and fix it.
I've spent over fifteen years in high tech, working at companies that pushed the boundaries of what technology can do and what IT teams can handle. I've built and grown teams, supported CEOs and board members, managed M&A integrations, and made sure the right solutions were in place for the people who needed them most. This included leadership at Twitter, SpaceX, and Vuori.
That experience taught me accountability, problem-solving, and attention to detail that I apply to every engagement. I founded Stillings Technology Group to give growing businesses a hands-on technology partner who's genuinely invested in their success.
Whether it's a WiFi installation at a ranch in Fallbrook or a zero-trust security architecture for a Series A biotech — my approach is the same: start with the real problem, take complete ownership, and follow through until it's done right.
