Alastair (Alf) Trower

I am the Principal Consultant at Canfluence Strategy with nearly 30 years of international sales, marketing, and business development experience across engineering, industrial, and technology sectors.

I have a strong track record of scaling small and mid-sized businesses — typically in the 5 to 75 employee range — including sustained double-digit annual growth achieved during down markets, opening new markets and forging international alliances across multiple continents.

As Director of Strategic Engagement at Enginuity Inc., I helped grow the firm’s reach across marine, aerospace, and industrial sectors in Canada and internationally. My consulting work spans defence readiness, manufacturing scaling, commercialisation, and market diversification — helping companies translate technical capability into commercial traction and international growth.

I bring hands-on experience building teams, structures, and go-to-market strategies for small multinational operations, combined with the strategic rigour of formal consulting engagements. I am well suited to fractional executive roles focused on international growth, dual-use, commercial strategy, and scaling operations across sectors.
