Alice Bruno
@alicebruno
I build strategic B2B partnerships and lead C-level connection strategies across complex multi-stakeholder environments.
What I'm looking for
I’m a strategic partnerships professional and connector with 25+ years building commercial relationships across B2B, HR services, events, and cross-border contexts. I operate comfortably at C-level as a connector and strategic sparring partner, with a focus on partnership development, stakeholder management, team leadership, and go-to-market execution.
Across my roles—from running business networks and delivering keynotes to leading an HR selection agency and coaching teams—I’ve consistently turned high-quality introductions into concrete partnerships and business opportunities. I’m also strengthening my mediation expertise (Postgraduate Mediation, in progress), because I enjoy building something meaningful “from the ground up,” guided by quality of connection rather than volume.
