Alexander J. Zelloe | Director

Alexander Zelloe is a multilingual (Chinese, English, German, & Spanish) MBA educated business professional with proven success in the U.S. Federal Government and the private sector. He specializes in Blockchain Technology, Data Analytics, Fintech, Marketing, and Supply Chain Distribution.

Alexander initiated his career in 2014 by fostering China-Europe business relationships and conducting high-profile interviews (the Honorable Henry Kissinger for Deutsche Welle, German News Network). In 2016, Alexander found himself with a cutting-edge Fintech lender, OnDeck Capital, where he helped generate $30M for U.S. operations. Leaving OnDeck Capital to pursue his MBA at Virginia Tech, Alexander simultaneously worked for Amdocs, an Israeli multinational software firm, to build IT automation solutions leveraging artificial intelligence that saved millions in corporate costs.

In 2018, Alexander joined the executive leadership of a high-performance aerospace and defense focused manufacturing company, producing materials for U.S. classified government programs with customers such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman. Shortly after, Alexander was brought into Accenture, one of the leading global technology consulting firms, to help design and build the first ever functioning blockchain solution for one of the U.S. Federal government’s global supply chains.

In 2019, Alexander co-founded and was Chief Marketing Officer of Alphagora, one of the first U.S. SEC registered cryptocurrency robo-advisory platforms, a next generation digital asset management platform leveraging blockchain technology. Alphagora offered subscription access to automated cryptocurrency trading tools, and an open market for algorithmic investment strategies. The Alphagora platform was initially funded by University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business and private investors, and received numerous awards and accolades since 2019. The executive team was comprised of ex-Citadel Hedge Fund, Accenture, and crypto industry experts.

In 2021, Alexander designed and constructed two multimillion-dollar enterprise data mining hubs in a highly secure Northern Virginia facility. He advises private equity funds on data mining, blockchain hardware, and digital asset markets. His relationships with global hardware manufacturers provide direct access to cutting-edge data mining machines. He also designs custom server setups, power strategies, and ensures compliance. Microsoft-trained engineers manage the operation, ensuring top-tier performance and maintenance. Situated near major data centers, the 30MW facility is maintained under vigilant surveillance and advanced cooling systems. As the industry evolves, expansion and capital deployment are planned, maximizing profitability. This particular type of data mining employs specialized computers to extract patterns, yielding rewards for computational efforts.

In June 2022, Alexander completed an 18-month recapitalization project in the M&A Aerospace industry, resulting in the successful acquisition of a closely held aerospace and defense company by a middle-market private equity firm. The company was transformed and merged into a Tier 1 supplier for the U.S. Defense Industry. Alexander initiated the project, collaborating with executive leadership from the outset to analyze and plan the recapitalization. Alexander conducted detailed analyses in the merger, working with consultants to extract and manage vital data, enabling the private equity group to assess the company's metrics effectively. Alexander also developed flexible operating models for quick adjustments in various scenarios, conducting thorough due diligence, including valuation, industry benchmarks, financial models, and revenue forecasts to ensure accurate industry assessments.
