Alex Vayner's Linkedin Analytics

Hey there! I am the Chief Growth Officer at SparkBeyond, where I help enterprises unlock the real business value of Generative AI—powered by the Always-Optimized™ platform (and a personal vendetta against mediocrity). With 25+ years of navigating data, AI, and the occasional executive detour, I’ve built and led high-performing teams and solutions for Fortune 500s in over 30 countries—often while grappling with jet lag, calendar chaos, and the existential dread of daylight saving time. Along the way, I’ve built six profitable AI businesses and teams, delivered over $1 billion in value, hired and managed 350+ engineers and architects. I’ve also co-sold and delivered with 50+ startups, proving that collaboration (and caffeine) can move mountains. Before SparkBeyond, I spearheaded growth and innovation at KPMG, PA Consulting, and Capgemini, and served as the founding head of data innovation at Equifax. I hold B.S. and M.S. degrees in applied mathematics and computer science from the University of Florida and Georgia Tech, respectively—credentials I claim are equally handy for trivia night and decoding the proof of Fermat’s last theorem. When not at work, I juggle life with three kids, one wife, and a golden doodle (the true household strategist), splitting my time between Atlanta, Israel, and seat 34C on Delta—usually with a 19th-century Russian poetry book in hand and a home library that would make Umberto Eco jealous.
