Alex Bouaziz is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Deel, Inc. While attempting to hire international software engineers for an early startup, Bouaziz spent months battling foreign labor bureaucracies and tax forms, realizing that cross-border hiring was completely broken. In 2019, alongside MIT classmate Shuo Wang, Bouaziz founded Deel to make hiring anywhere on Earth as simple as sending an email. Under Bouaziz's steadily energetic, customer-obsessed leadership, Deel achieved the fastest revenue growth in enterprise software history, scaling from $1M to $100M ARR in under twenty months, crossing $500M ARR with sustained profitability at a $12.0 billion valuation. Bouaziz is universally recognized as the leader of the global remote work revolution. Bouaziz's energy, customer obsession, and global vision made him one of the most dynamic technology leaders of his generation. Operating without a physical office and traveling continuously across continents, Bouaziz steered Deel from an early YC concept into a $12.0 billion software giant generating over $500M ARR with sustained profitability, championing the democratic freedom of human beings to work from anywhere on Earth.
