Most Recently, Alex served as the Chief Executive of a venture-backed digital music company.

"Originally we had only allocated time for one Keynote presentation in the PBExpo schedule," says Greg Schmidt, President of PartsBase. "However, as the education line-up for PBExpo continues to evolve, we knew we wanted to cast a spotlight on digital marketing and branding. It became essential we add a second Keynote and Alex was an obvious fit given his proven track record of success in the field, and his tie to aviation. We are thrilled that we can bring such high-quality content to our attendees that will be beneficial long after they leave the show."
