Alexander has an amazing academic career. He did all the hards yards to make it to wall street and then his wife Rebecca reminded him that 100 hours a week was not great for bringing up a family.

So he left and started working as a professor in Finance to help students get educated better to solve global challenges.

Alexander also shared his experience on what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur given his board and mentoring experience.
