Alex Rivlin, Chief Executive Officer, Co-Founder

Alex is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of InsureMonkey, a company he co-founded in 2009 as a way to simplify and open access to health insurance for everyone.  Alex is responsible for overseeing the company’s strategic direction, planning and implementation.  His commitment to openness has led to the many strategic advantages of the InsureMonkey.com website.  Among these is a risk-free shopping experience with no requirement to submit personal information, a member rating system to provide feedback on the most popular health insurance plans, and an easy way for members to build an insurance plan with the benefits they choose. 

Alex has built his career in the insurance and services industries on a principled work ethic, a drive to help people and a commitment to do what is right.  He previously opened a captive insurance agency in 2001 and built it into one of the top 2% of agencies nationwide from among more than 15,000.  His success is a result of an unrelenting focus on customer service, deep understanding of marketing, and an ability to bring together top talent around a common purpose.

Alex developed a strong work ethic early when he started working as a 10-year-old boy and later as a full-time employee at age 13.  His hard work paid off and at age 18 Alex started his own company in the automotive services industry, employing over 200 people in 5 locations.  

Alex lives in Las Vegas with his wife and two children.
