Founder & Director · Tell Sys

Alexandre Sarte's journey from São Paulo to founding Tell Sys in Switzerland began with discovering his great-grandparents' courage fleeing World War I to Brazil. Inspired by their resilience, he embarked on his own international path — securing Italian citizenship, consulting in the UK, and mastering his craft across Europe since 2015.

"Each country shaped my approach: French engagement, Swiss precision, British pragmatism, and Brazilian creativity and speed."

— Alexandre Sarte

Through 14 years working across Brazil, the UK, and Switzerland, Alex became a recognised expert in EPM platforms, budgeting, planning, and consolidation. Each country shaped his approach — blending complementary strengths into a consulting philosophy that is both technically precise and deeply human.

In 2026, Alex founded Tell Sys to deliver finance transformation at scale, serving finance professionals and consultancies worldwide. The company blends "Swiss precision" with "Brazilian speed," leveraging AI for efficient task management while maintaining clear client communication.
