Alex AgranTechnology Transformer, Business Developer, and Volunteer

Once upon a time I was a software developer, back when it was simple and straightforward. Then technology evolved, quickly, in scale and complexity. But my skills didn't. So now I'm resigned to selling software development services. Not a bad gig. My primary area of focus is helping Private Equity firms understand how they can leverage technology at their portfolio companies to dramatically improve outcomes. I have a podcast that provides solid content on how to better approach the technology running portfolio companies. Outside of business, I'm passionate about providing time, effort, and money to helping those less fortunate. I currently sit on the board of HFS Chicago Scholars.
