Alex Balva

VP of Engineering

Alex is an engineer by training and a pragmatic builder drawn to real-world business problems that benefit from thoughtful technology. For more than two decades, he has worked across the software and services startup ecosystem, shaping teams and helping turn products from early ideas into platforms people rely on.

His work as CTO of Chariot Transit, a Ford company, and Wingz gave him a deep appreciation for transportation: a domain where software has to be rigorous, user-friendly, and resilient enough to keep pace with the unpredictability of the physical world.

Before joining Parkade, Alex held engineering leadership roles at Jirav, Guideline, acquired by Gusto, Everdream, acquired by Dell, Genesys Telecom, acquired by Alcatel, and several other venture-backed companies.
