Alicia Rius spent years inside fast-growing companies watching the same thing happen over and over—brilliant people get promoted into leadership and quietly start drowning. As a founder, co-founder, and COO of three ventures, she lived it herself. Today she runs Hive Leadership & Team Coaching, where she works with scaling companies to do the one thing that actually stops the bleeding: build clarity. Clear roles, clear expectations, clear decision-making—before the chaos becomes the culture. She's the creator of the 4Ps Leadership Framework™ and the author of Lead with Clarity, a practical guide for the new managers and founders nobody prepared for the job.
