Alexander Babko — CEO

I build products where the physical and digital worlds collide. As an Innovation and Program Director, I lead end-to-end development programs: from early R&D and blueprinting to hardware manufacturing, software engineering, and global market launch. I specialize in cutting through the hype of emerging tech (IoT, AI, AR/VR, embedded engineering, and smart devices) to deliver functional, scalable solutions that actually work in the real world. Over the last 15 years, I have launched 100+ projects, partnering with industry giants like Google, Microsoft, and HTC, as well as global brands like National Geographic and the History Channel. What I bring to the table: • Engineering Leadership: I direct high-performing, cross-disciplinary teams of up to 100 engineers, designers, strategists and creative technologists. I know how to build delivery ecosystems that seamlessly blend in-house talent with external vendors. • Complex Project Management: Translating abstract innovation into predictable delivery pipelines. I bridge the gap between hardware mechanics, electronics, and digital experiences to ensure complex products ship on time. • Business & Financial Acumen: Armed with a background in Financial and Investment Management, I don’t just oversee the tech,I manage the business reality. I build the business cases, run simulations, and govern $3M+ budgets, ensuring that every program has the runway to succeed and remains profitable. • Tech for Good: Innovation matters most when it creates tangible human impact. I actively prototype accessibility solutions for people with disabilities, including leading my team to win the Grand Prize at the Estée Lauder Hackathon and pro-bono med-tech innovation project with St. Rokas hospital. My teams' work has been featured in The Verge, Wired, Fortune, CNET, and VentureBeat, and I regularly share practical insights on emerging tech at industry conferences like BuildStuff, AI summit and Reboot Develop. Ultimately, if it isn't a working product, it is just a presentation. I make it real.
