CEO · Enterprise password security

Under Alex's leadership, Passwork has been driven by a straightforward premise: enterprise-grade security should not require enterprise-grade complexity. Over the years, the company has grown from a startup into a trusted European password management platform serving thousands of organizations across the EU, the US, and beyond — fully bootstrapped, founder-owned, and independent.

He writes about the practical side of information security: how organizations actually manage credentials under real-world constraints, where compliance frameworks meet daily operations, and why most security tools fail before they're ever deployed. His perspective is shaped by years of building a product that security teams choose to use.
