The executive message in full

Artificial intelligence orchestration, ecosystem command, and executive decision-making.

War of the Ecosystems frames platform power, partners, data, and market control as a leadership battlefield.

Turn technology into coordinated commercial advantage.

The authority behind the doctrine

Research depth. Operating experience. Human judgement.

Dr. Alejandro Canonero, DBA, brings together qualities rarely found in one advisor: doctoral research into partner ecosystems, more than three decades of international technology experience, and the temperament to remain useful when decisions are difficult. He helped build AWS Marketplace in EMEA, led global partner ecosystem work for Google Cloud's public sector business, and created Criteo's indirect channel strategy from the ground up.

War of the Ecosystems is the written expression of that work. The frameworks are designed to be used by leaders who must decide where to build, where to partner, and how to protect the value they create.

01A practitioner-scholar's lens

Academic research is tested against the realities of customers, partners, procurement, markets, and execution.

02Three decades in the field

Experience across AWS, Google Cloud, Criteo, enterprise technology, marketplaces, and international growth markets.

03Independent judgement

The recommendation follows the evidence and the decision, not a software resale agenda or a logo wall.

Operating method

Diagnose the ecosystem, then prove the workflow.

The method combines War of the Ecosystems doctrine with workflow advisory discipline: find the control point, choose the decisive front, and make the first move measurable.

01

Map the control shift

Identify where customers, data, adoption, integrations, and partner leverage are moving.

02

Choose the decisive front

Prioritize the fight that matters most: defend, attack, partner, build, buy, or exit.

03

Orchestrate the work

Convert strategy into operating loops, workflow owners, expert corrections, and proof metrics.

04

Command the narrative

Align board, leadership, partners, investors, and market communication around the chosen move.

Answers for executive search

Book-backed battle doctrine

Published doctrine turned into executive command.

The book provides the language. The advisory work turns that language into choices on what to defend, what to build, whom to partner with, which workflow to prove, and where to move first.
