Welcome to the official website of Alex Hern of San Diego. I’m excited to launch this site to share my experiences as an entrepreneur and offer helpful advice for people looking to take the next step in their careers.
My life experience has taught me a lot of do’s and don’ts and I look forward to the opportunity to share that advice with you. During my 25 years as an entrepreneur, I have focused on early stage companies and on the incubation of technology companies. For example, I co-founded and served as a Director of Inktomi Goldman Sachs-led IPO (INKT.) This was extremely gratifying work and an amazing experience as it powered and was the search technology of Yahoo, AOL and MSN at the time.
I was also the co-founder and Director of Yesmail Alex Brown led IPO (YESM,) which was an email marketing and web directory company. The company would go on to go public and was sold to CMGI for $650 million. This experience led me to Military Commercial Technologies, where I served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. As a co-founder and Director of Arcsight (ARST), a cyber security company, which also went on to go public and was eventually sold to Hewlett-Packard for $1.5 billion, I learned a lot about where this booming industry was headed.
There are more companies that I’m proud to have been once involved with, but the point I want to make by sharing some of the companies I have had the pleasure of working with is that every opportunity is a learning experience and provides a new opportunity to project what’s next on the horizon.
I’ll also be writing about my current company Tsunami XR. Did you know that the global augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) market is expected to reach $94.9 billion by 2023? I’m excited that Tsunami XR will be at the forefront of this incredible emerging market and will share tips on how I positioned my company to be poised for immense success.
Again, welcome to my site and check back often for my latest blog posts. I look forward to turning my experiences into your success.
