Alexander joined Cherry in 2016 and is a Partner and the Chief Financial Officer of the firm. He is responsible for the firm's operations, provides management and oversight to all Cherry funds, and leads the firm's Strategic Resources team.
Prior to joining Cherry, Alexander spent several years in investment banking, mostly with Morgan Stanley, where he predominantly advised on IPOs (including Zalando).
Having grown up in Hamburg and Athens, Alex’s deep love for the ocean is no surprise. He even considered a career in shipping before he decided to dive into finance instead (lucky for us, as that path led him to Cherry). Alex holds a Master of Science in Finance and Accounting from EBS Business School.
