Alex Sen

Founder and CEO

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He’s seen how outdated, clunky CRMs create more problems than they solve - slowing teams down, siloing critical data, and leaving firms scrambling to piece together insights from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.
