Alex Gutierrez

Alex Gutierrez, award winning author, was born in Chile and currently lives in Sedona, Arizona. He graduated as an engineer and worked in marketing and management most of his career. His dream was to one day be his own boss, so with other entrepreneurs he built a successful business, which was acquired in 2006. Alex left the position of CEO of this company in early 2008 following a strong call from God to begin sharing with others his spiritual journey.

It all started in 1997, after a close encounter with death; he found a need to reevaluate the purpose of his life. Alex survived a cancer operation and although it was against doctor's recommendations, he chose a path of prayer and meditation to complete his healing process, instead of the recommended chemotherapy. In July of 2007, Alex moved to Sedona also following a strong calling from God. He knew this move meant more than just a location change. Well, he did not have to wait long, because in November of 2007 Alex again felt the saving hand of God when he survived a serious car accident driving from Phoenix to Sedona one night. It was time to get on with his new mission in life, so shortly after he quit his job.

As Alex was delving deeper into his faith, he felt he knew so little about the Mother of God and his open mind and desire to get to the bottom of issues and find answers, took him on a path of research and investigation about the life of the Virgin Mary. The result of many years of research was his book "Mother Mary's Resurrection - A Businessman's Awakening Through Our Universal Mother", where Alex shares his learning along with his personal experiences and how Mary touched his heart and helped him comprehend his newly found faith in a much more profound way. Alex's lack of attachment to any group, or idea, make him an ideal author to bring to light such a controversial topic as the redemptive aspects of Mother Mary. He tells how in each important step of his life he has found the support of Mary and Christ to accomplish his mission. Alex explains that when our goals and desires are aligned with God's will it is so much easier to accomplish them, because we have Divine help all along the way.

Alex now heads the Corporate Ethics Foundation in Sedona, a non-profit organization that aims at creating and regularly publishing a Corporate Ethics Index that will evaluate corporations' ethical behavior. He believes that if we don't change the incentive system of CEOs in America, we will not be able to change behavior in a permanent way.
