Hi there! I'm Alex. I currently work as a VP of Product Management at Two Sigma in NYC.

Before that, I was a Product Lead for a team responsible for funnel & efficiency optimization at Uber Eats. Prior to that, I worked as Senior PM for the Project Turing effort in Bing, helping build the next generation of enterprise search technology, powered by deep learning.

I started my career by doing a 4-year stint for an early-stage venture capital firm, and led product development at a mobile gaming startup that I co-founded.

I hold MBA & MS in Design Innovation degrees from Kellogg School of Management & McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University, and also a combined BSc/MSc in Mathematics.

Outside of work, I enjoy taking pictures and writing, among other things.
