With his passion for open solutions, Alex brings the Initmarketing team an additional expert with broad experience in building open source developer networks and managing online communities.

"Alex is one of the very rare people who have combined expertise in marketing, community development, software programming and business management with experience in the Open Source domain.", says Sandro Groganz, Founder Initmarketing.

The Joomla project is not only one community but a combination of world wide groups, teams and communities which have similar interests around the fast moving project. Working with the different cultures, requirements and people is one of the most positive experiences and the knowledge of his studies in international management helped to fulfill the job. Alex successfully setup the structures for a unique series of Joomla!Day events which allow the people to step out of the virtual world and meet in person with community members from all over their region and the world.

With the multilingual extension JoomFish, Alex has proven the implementation of successful business concepts based on open source solutions. He uses this knowledge to explain managers how their corporation can benefit from the spirit of open and transparent solutions. With his economic and technical background Alex can translate the language of both worlds and find out the right driving factors for your business.

He is also founder of Think Network GmbH, a consulting company specialized on the integration of innovative corporate strategies in combination with open standard solutions. In addition to that, Alex has recently finished his studies in International Management.
