Today, Alex remains on the Board of Advisors of BTC.

Nexius is a privately funded company that provides engineering services to cellular carriers worldwide as they deploy their networks.

The company was backed by Tier-1 Silicon Valley venture firms (e.g. Accel Partners, Pequot Ventures, Infinity, Invesco, etc.) and was sold to Nokia in 2001 for $421 million USD. Alex was also General Counsel to Telephia (another start-up backed by Tier-1 VC firms such as AEA, Oak Hill, & Centennial). Alex helped to build the business that was later sold to The Nielsen Company for $440 million USD. Alex began his career in Brazil by working with Mobile Science, the leading provider of competitive network benchmarking for the Brazilian wireless carriers.
