About Me
Hi, I’m Alex MacIntosh.
I’m a native English speaker from Canada who moved to Hungary in 2018. For over 20 years, I’ve helped executives take control of their persuasive communication in English. Clients across Asia and Europe have included leaders and teams at InterContinental Hotels, IBM, Nissan and more. The result: they can explain complex ideas more clearly, tell more engaging stories, and hold the attention of their audiences better.
TEDx speaker who coaches with science
I know what it’s like to speak when the stakes are high. In 2020, I coached speakers at TEDx Budapest Salon. In 2025, I stepped onto the red dot and gave my own TEDx talk Presentific: The Science Behind Sticky Ideas at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. I use that science and more to support the techniques I teach.
My clients come from all areas of business: IT, sales, service, hospitality, and the startup community. I help them present ideas people remember.

Testimonials
What Clients Are Saying
“I had two big presentations coming up: a talk at BusinessFest Hungary, and an event where I was presenting Corporate Rebels. It was a wake-up call for me because I realised that this is really a skill. In our sessions, Alex gave me great input on how to craft my message and honest feedback on how to improve. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.”

Founder, Pentacon Capital
Co-Coordinator Rebel Cell Hungary
“I was one of 400 women entrepreneurs who entered the Visa She’s Next 2026 Program. My biggest challenge was that I’ve never done anything like this before. Alex was extremely attentive, very patient, and very supportive. Without him, I would have never realised that I should start the speech the way I did. I’m extremely grateful for that. With Alex’s help, I was able to present the best version of myself clearly and confidently. That presentation won us the Grand Prize of 5 million HUF! (13,700 EUR).”

“My biggest problem was that all my previous presentations were boring. After two minutes, basically everybody started playing with their phones. From Alex, I learned some out-of-the-box thinking about presentation that I could immediately use. I can say that working together really helped me to take a huge step further in presentation techniques. It was very, very good to work with him. “

“A big name the app industry reached out to his audience with an offer to collaborate. I applied and got a meeting. Practicing with Alex helped me spot all the potential holes and possibilities so I could be completely ready. I wasn’t nervous at all and I was actually excited because I was eager to share my message. In the meeting, I was offered the chance to collaborate and do some contract work as well. Working with Alex made all the difference. “

“I was in the middle of the interview process for a position at a new company when I reached out to Alex. In our session, he helped me to clarify and articulate what I wanted in a much more approachable way. I realized that if I just blindly go into an interview or high-stakes conversations, I end up sending a very different message than I would want to. In the end, I got the job.”
Denes Boros
Staff AI Engineer
“Complex business messaging in procurement and supply chain is difficult to talk about in a way that is simple and interesting. Alex’s customized coaching completely changed how I frame my talks. From our very first session, he gave me an actionable structure, strategic hooks, and a fresh perspective that led to my most engaging and authentic speeches yet. If you have a specific presentation or keynote coming up and want an incredible ROI on your time, working with Alex is a game-changer.“
