Seasoned investor and advisor specializing in investing and advising throughout the full lifecycle of companies from early stage to multi-national institutions. Starting his career as an investment banker at the Bank of Montreal, Alex led multiple projects and teams across BMO Capital Markets, including in Fintech, M&A, and Financial Institutions. Alex helped lead the charge on several of Capital Market’s early blockchain and fintech initiatives and was recognized as a leader within the Investment Bank. Alex left BMO in early 2018 to co-found Bicameral Ventures, a Venture Capital fund focused on “Interconnected Investing” and building a portfolio of highly complementary projects working towards bringing new technology paradigms into reality. Bicameral’s themes include blockchain, interoperability, data and identity self-sovereignty, personalized AI, and Web 3.0. Since founding Bicameral, Alex has spoken at CES, World Crypto Con, CoinAgenda Europe, CoinAgenda Global, the London Summit, Blockchain Solutions World, FiNext Con, Deloitte Crypto Camp and Fireside.
Alex earned his CFA designation in 2013 and was awarded multiple scholarships towards earning his MBA from the Rotman School of Management where he was a Bregman Scholar and a mediocre, but enthusiastic, member of the Rotman Hockey Team.
