Head of Growth at Whimstay
Alex started his sales career 10 years ago after a successful 12 year run as a New York stage actor. In 2010 he was hired as an account executive at an early-stage Yelp. After 11 months he was transferred to the newly established Pheonix office and promoted to sales manager (the quickest account executive to manager promotion at the time) In 2013 and '14 his teams were consistently top of the org for both revenue and target attained. He was then promoted to the National sales side where he led their newly formed national Franchise Sales org for two years, before moving back to San Francisco as a team lead for the newly formed Yelp SaaS product Yelp Reservations.
From Yelp Alex started consulting startups as they scaled their sales orgs (including SwoopMe and Hitch-ride) In 2018 Alex received a call from his friend's Jim and Ben and was offered his dream role - to help found a unicorn travel marketplace with a brilliant founding team. As Head of Sales for Whimstay Alex and his team have on-boarded over 2500 PMC's with over 300,000 properties on the platform.
