I have known Alex for only a few years, but I feel like he has been there for my whole life. We met for the first time in a hotel swimming pool of all places. We started talking, and at once, I knew Alex was going to be a close friend going forward. Alex is one hand, very easygoing but deceptively charming, but most of all a man of integrity, which he demonstrated time and again.

Alex is the smartest man I have met till now, and that is coming from a lifelong businessman who has travelled the world and met countless people doing so. His grasp of current events and keen sense of business opportunity is unlike what I have ever seen. Talking to him, I realized that he became a successful entrepreneur through his own hard work and talent and not something that was handed to him. I am excited to see what he does next, although I am sure it will be nothing less than market disrupting.

I have met many outstanding people through my line of work, but Alex stands out from the rest. Brilliant as he is, he isn’t swallowed by his own success but remains humble, charming and funny. When talking to him, you feel that he fully focuses on what you say and respects your thoughts and opinions. You can ask him the most complex questions, and you will be astonished at how cleverly he approaches them. I am incredibly fortunate to have met him and consider him a dear friend, professionally and personally.
