Alex Vayner, Chief Growth Officer, SparkBeyond
Alex Vayner is the Chief Growth Officer at SparkBeyond, where he helps 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, Alex has 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.
Before SparkBeyond, Alex spearheaded growth and innovation at KPMG, PA Consulting, and Capgemini, and served as the founding head of data innovation at Equifax. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in applied mathematics and computer science from the University of Florida and Georgia Tech, respectively—credentials he claims are equally handy for trivia night and decoding the proof of Fermat’s last theorem.
When not at work, Alex juggles life with three kids, one wife, and a golden doodle (the true household strategist), splitting his 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.
