The founding of Ten Eleven brought together Alex’s experiences in finance, investing, software, and security operating roles in Silicon Valley. In 2002, Alex co-founded PGP Corporation, combining the vision for a new security company with the secure email standard OpenPGP. He served as a founding board member and CFO/VP of Business Development, pioneering the encryption and data protection marketplaces, and was COO when Symantec acquired the company in 2010.

After PGP, Alex continued his involvement with security companies as an angel investor, independent director, entrepreneur-in-residence at Khosla Ventures, and security deal team consultant to KKR. The experience of simultaneously working on venture and growth opportunities within the cybersecurity sector was formative to Ten Eleven’s unique investment strategy. In 2025, he was appointed to the Board of Directors of the US National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), where he focuses on improving IPO access for high-growth companies and bringing a cybersecurity perspective to national security and geopolitical policy.
