My name is Alec...

 

I am a creative business professional with a love for all things tech, specifically in the productivity and personal-development space. I am currently working to help Squarespace scale globally and become the go-to service for anyone looking to put their ideas online.

I love challenges and tackling problems that don't necessarily have a clear solution. I love thinking inside of the box and then blowing the box apart with solutions that no box has ever heard of. I love helping people discover new products and services that can improve their lives substantially. 

 

But what I love more than anything else are ideas. 

 

Every successful business, film, novel, non-profit, exploratory expedition, and relationship in the history of time started with a simple idea...

 

"What if I cross that ocean?"

 

"What if I make a website where people can sell items they own in an auction?"

 

"What if I write a play about a prince named Hamlet?"

 

Ideas are powerful. And the rapid advancement of technology over the past several decades has made something truly remarkable possible: for the first time in history, the tools exist to allow anyone to give voice to their ideas.

Squarespace provides a space where anyone can store an idea and let it grow. From someone who wants to start a blog but doesn't want to settle for a less-than-amazing visual representation of her thoughts, to a musician who wants to create a central location for his band's online presence, to a small business owner who has never had a website and has no idea where to start, Squarespace gives all of them the tools to bring their ideas and visions to life. And I'm ecstatic to be a part of the team working to make Squarespace a household name around the world.

The rest of this website will tell you a bit more about me and my experiences. Enjoy!
