In 2010, Alex Pezold founded TokenEx with a vision of creating the most secure, non-intrusive, and flexible data security solution on the market. Before founding TokenEx, Alex earned a master's degree in computer science and information security through the CyberCorps program at the University of Tulsa. While working as a qualified security assessor with the PCI SSC, Alex first recognized the potential of cloud tokenization. This inspired him to use it as a scope- and risk-reducing technology to protect data in an increasingly privacy-focused world.
