Alex Novikov
About me

Human potential is my throughline.

I’m Alex — an L&D leader who connects organizational learning strategy with business priorities, leadership capability and sustainable people development.

Connecting people strategy with business outcomes.

My career has taken me from technical instruction and enterprise implementations in Israel to leading learning and development in Canadian fintech and SaaS. That progression shaped how I lead: understand the business, identify capability needs, and build the strategy and systems that help people and organizations grow.

I’ve built L&D functions from scratch, established governance and executive reporting, and led leadership development, mentorship and scalable onboarding. At ScalePad, that work has contributed to a development culture recognized as a Best Workplace for Professional Development in 2024, 2025, and 2026.

Today, I also work at the intersection of human learning and artificial intelligence — leading practical AI upskilling and contributing domain expertise to improve AI-generated workplace learning.

I bring a global, cross-cultural perspective, an MBA, and a grounding in instructional technology. Based in Richmond, British Columbia, I’ve partnered with teams across SaaS, fintech, healthcare, utilities, automotive, aerospace, and enterprise technology.

Always learning.
