“Thank you, Alex, for inventing QLess. My team adopted it 18 months ago for our institution and it’s totally transformed the student experience. Our students have thanked us for ending endless waiting in lines! ”

“Alex masterfully built a thriving business from an idea most would assume is an impossible problem to solve; eliminating waiting in line from the face of the earth. I personally had the pleasure of working under him the last four years of his twelve year tenure at QLess and always observed a highly analytical, passionate, yet thoughtful leader. In his role as CEO he was not only the mind, but also the spirit of our growing company. To appreciate his enduring value to our mission, one has to understand that our success requires we convince brick and mortar businesses to replace proven, physical workflows with unfamiliar, virtual ones. Unlike organizations built on social whims, ours must achieve the highest objective standards for performance while ensuring our customers’ own missions aren’t jeopardized. Alex often served as the voice of analytical reason to prove our quantitative value while offering reassuring encouragement during merchants’ initial, uncertain steps along a better path. Since its inception, QLess has saved over 100 million people in excess of 8,000 years of time waiting in line. Few business leaders can boast of a greater impact to the personal lives of the people they serve.”
