He started his professional journey in the video game industry as a 3D artist and CG designer 20 years ago, and not long after he had the idea of ​​starting a game development studio. The entrepreneur in him was restless, and soon enough took matters into his own hands – he founded the Media4 studio back in 2004. Since 2007, he has been producing and leading studio projects. He soon realized that he loves the job because it invokes all his passions – creativity, challenges, problem solving and project development at a whole new level.

Nowadays he seeks to use his 18+ years of experience and extensive artistic, technological and management background to develop a career in much larger companies working on large projects, and help others develop professionally by offering some of the proven key skills: business development, strategic planning, organization and commercial awareness, agile project/product management, analytics, leadership, teamwork and interpersonal skills, crisis management, critical thinking and negotiation.

Most of Alexander’s career can be summarized in two chapters, the first of which constitutes a short but effective career in the field of political science. Immediately after graduating from George Washington University, he started working in several non-governmental organizations and consulting firms in the field of comparative politics. During this period, he was tasked with leading small teams of both field and office workers, during which they collected survey data, proposed and wrote potential dispute resolutions, and were generally responsible for crisis management.

The second part, which began sometime around 2015, was a seemingly sudden transition into the creative waters. Although it came out of nowhere, this move was a return to his original love. Aleks studied directing and writing in Los Angeles. This kind of work, directing, collaborating with people on projects bigger than ourselves, was the core of the experience. It turned out that creativity eventually won!
