Meet Alex, 

Chief Marketing Officer & Chief Revenue Officer at Unqork

Alex is an impassioned technology leader and entrepreneur who has been helping companies build and grow their digital businesses since 1994. He joined the founding team at Unqork to take that passion to another level as the company fundamentally changes the economics of software development by helping the world’s largest organizations fulfill their missions without writing a single line of code.

At Unqork, Alex oversees all marketing and strategic partnerships for the company while also playing a key role in customer experience efforts and the development of Unqork’s product: the only no-code platform designed to support the complexity, scale and security of mission-critical applications.

Prior to joining Unqork, Alex was Founder and CEO of Cake & Arrow, an award-winning customer experience agency that focuses on the insurance and e-commerce industries. Cake & Arrow clients include MetLife, Citigroup, Bose, and Saks Fifth Avenue.

The development techniques that come with code-less software, with no-code styles of development are so economically attractive that you can't ignore them. It's 70 to 80% cheaper and faster…

— Alex Schmelkin

Don't get me wrong, I want to make one thing clear. We love code. I love code. I'm a hacker, I'm a coder...The code should be used for very, very limited things where you really know what you're doing and you're trying to do something so special and so unique.

— Alex Schmelkin

...we don't respond to RFPs, we don't make outlandish or overly complex proposals. Instead, the way we personalize the buying and the sales experience is we just show them the software. We could just jump in and immediately hyper personalize and customize and show you what it's all about.
