The deal platform trusted by the world’s leading investment firms

Alex Sen is the Founder and CEO of Meridian, the next-gen CRM and deal management platform transforming how private equity firms source and close deals.

With nearly a decade of experience at top firms like Blackstone, Thoma Bravo, and CVC, Alex knows the challenges that hold dealmakers back.He’s seen how outdated, clunky CRMs create more problems than they solve - slowing teams down, siloing critical data, and leaving firms scrambling to piece together insights from disconnected tools.

Determined to solve these problems, Alex founded Meridian in 2023. Meridian gives private equity professionals the edge they need to compete at the highest level: helping them win the best deals, maintain long-term relationships, and make the right investment decisions.

With 15 years of experience building software and running high-performing engineering teams, Alex specializes in taking companies from the earliest stages to fully launched products. He has held lead and platform engineering roles across multiple startups, guiding architecture, backend systems, and AI-driven product development.

At Meridian, Alex built a 25-person, fully in-house engineering team sourced directly from his network. He oversees architecture, infrastructure, and AI strategy for the company’s next-generation PE CRM, now used by firms managing over $200B in assets. After ten years in New York, Alex now lives in Colorado, where he spends his time speedflying, mountaineering, and supporting nonprofit initiatives.

Alex joined Meridian as Head of Product in August 2025. Prior to Meridian, he spent six years developing private markets technology solutions at Juniper Square, building and scaling fund management and reporting products for investment managers and limited partners across private equity, venture capital, and real estate.
