About Alex Metz
Alex Metz is Chief Technology Officer at Levata. Location: Naperville, Illinois, United States.
AI is rewiring how the world captures, moves, and acts on data. As CTO at Levata — the largest data capture company in the world — my job is to make sure we lead the next decade of that build. I'm a technology leader who believes the next era of B2B will be won by companies that get one thing right: knowing what to buy and what to build. We use best-in-class platforms where they fit. And we invest in proprietary, AI-native capabilities that create real competitive advantage for our customers and our business. The result is a stack that ships fast, scales cleanly, and compounds into a durable moat. At Levata, that's translated into measurable results: turning our flagship e-commerce sites from decline to double-digit growth in 12 months, delivering seven-figure run-rate savings through platform consolidation and disciplined vendor management, and standing up an AI platform that drives real productivity gains across sales, service, and support. Three decades into a technology career across the US and Europe, most recently at Levata, previously at Pampered Chef (a Berkshire Hathaway company), and earlier across German technology leadership roles. Earlier-career highlights include a 2017 DSA award for Best Technology, $5M in first-year incremental digital revenue, 50% faster time-to-market, 28% lower engineering cost, and seven acquisitions integrated. The through-line across all of it: build durable teams, measure everything, and tie every technology decision back to the business outcome. "People First" leader. Self-made, three decades across the US and Europe. Bilingual: English and German. Always interested in conversations with technology leaders, thinking about where to buy, where to build, and how AI changes that calculus. DM me.
