Ep. 154-From Goldman Sachs to Global Seafood: Alexander Schultz’s Strategic Pivot
Guest: Alexander John Schultz, Founder of Turnbury Group & EO Greater Bay Area President-Elect since 2024
Host: Linh Podetti, EO Sydney Member since 2022 & Founder of Outsourcing Angel
How does a Goldman Sachs analyst end up brokering live lobsters in China?
In this jaw-dropping episode, Alexander Schultz shares his bold leap from Wall Street to building an $11M seafood distribution business across Greater China.
At just 24, Alex moved to Hong Kong with $25K and a dream—leaving behind a high-flying finance job for something completely unexpected. What started as a wild idea turned into Turnbury Group, a global seafood company distributing over 1 million pounds of product annually.
Inside this episode:
- From finance to fish: saying yes to an industry he knew nothing about
- Building a business in a new country with no safety net
- Scaling with grit, precision, and relentless execution
- Turning seafood into a sustainable global mission
- Leading the EO Greater Bay Area Metro chapter to unite entrepreneurs across borders
Alex’s story proves: You don’t need a revolutionary idea. You just need the courage to start and the discipline to execute better than the rest.
