The Team

Small team. Senior people. No filler.

Abundant Kindling is deliberately compact. Every engagement is led by someone who can sign their name to the work.

Alex Hender

Alex Hender

Founder

Alex founded Abundant Kindling in 2024 after a career that’s zig-zagged through sustainable building design, tech startups, solar, bike-sharing, and facility management. The common thread is turning complex problems into working solutions — and building alongside clients, not just advising them.

He is also Head of Sustainability and Technology at RenewCorp, and the principal behind The Clockwork Cloud.
