What do you need to move forward? Whether you're facing a sensitive negotiation, preparing for a market shift, or pitching for funding — you need clarity, speed, and sharp thinking. We help you act with confidence, backed by intelligence you can trust.
Clients include public sector teams navigating policy and procurement, private investors working across borders, and advocates looking to shape complex narratives. We tailor intelligence to their needs — from tactical research to strategic framing.
Strategic Partners We Serve:
- Government decision-makers: navigating funding opportunities, bilateral partnerships, or policy design. We help you anticipate stakeholder dynamics and align action with urgency.
- Corporate strategists & investors: entering unfamiliar markets or managing geopolitical risks. We uncover regulatory pathways, vet local partners, and sharpen go/no-go decisions.
- Advocates & campaigners: working to shift narratives or influence legislation. We map institutions, trace influence networks, and craft language that resonates.
Key sectors: governance, education, foreign aid, private capital, and multilateral engagement.
Regional focus: United States, Latin America, Europe, MENA, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Former Soviet Republics.
The Collective Company delivers custom research and strategy tailored to your goals — from opposition research and market entry planning to geopolitical briefings, business intelligence, and grant proposal support.
We simplify the process of finding the right partner, service, or support. Our goal is to offer clarity, not complexity.
Our mission is to make expertise accessible, clear, and human.
Who We Are
We are practitioners, not observers. Based in the U.S. — but working globally — we bring lived experience to every challenge.
- Bridging strategy and everyday life — from negotiation tables to kitchen tables.
- Navigating both global policies and local realities.
- Translating across cultures, disciplines, and languages.
We show up — with humility and context.
We speak the language — literally. Our team works across English, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Georgian, Italian, Kinyarwanda, Afrikaans, Greek, and more. This helps us navigate local, state, and international sources with accuracy and nuance — especially when stakes are high and context matters.
Why We Exist
We exist to meet the demand for sharper, faster, and more honest intelligence. In a world where uncertainty is the norm, clients need better answers — not more noise. Our job is to clear the path between your challenge and the smartest way forward.
Founder
Alex Bonino is an international business development specialist with experience across diplomatic missions, international organizations, and the private sector. He holds a Master’s in Foreign Policy and Diplomacy from City, University of London. Prior to founding The Collective, Alex worked with the Organization of American States, the Embassy of Egypt in London, and Juárez & Associates, where he led proposal development and partnership strategy across global education and development projects. He has always been drawn to understanding realities on the ground — a drive that has taken him from Algeria, where he studied youth perceptions of Western power, to Argentina, where he examined economic shock in the wake of new presidential administrations. In his free time, he enjoys reading, playing chess, sitting in cafes, listening to old Supreme Court oral arguments, and falling in and out of learning French.
