Alex works with tactical measure and choices driven by data. He digs deep into issues to find the root cause and then provides a solution for his team. I enjoyed working with Alex and learned a number of tips and life lessons from him while working together or sharing a conversation over lunch at the food truck. He takes his work very seriously and doesn't accept failure to be an option.
