About Alain
Bio
I am currently Vice President of Technology and Customer Care for TheLadders.com. I have extensive experience in online consumer website technologies, most notably in leading large web development teams and building highly scalable systems. I currently also oversee the company's Customer Care team which consists primarily of TheLadders.com customer service. Prior to TheLadders.com, I was CTO at Ground Travel Technology Team, Inc. (GT3) where I led efforts to build a national ground transportation reservations system.
From 1998 to 2002, I was an executive at Priceline.com, serving as Vice President, Development of International Systems, where I launched e-commerce travel products in Europe and Asia. I was also the architect of Priceline.com's customer systems, and was at the company from its early years through its period of rapid growth.
Previously, I spent eleven years on the Web frontier at Prodigy Services Corporation, where I was a developer of the company's proprietary Web browser and editorial tools.
I have an M.S. in physics from Yale University and a B.A. in physics from Columbia College.
