Perks Executives
Perks' Provides Our Clients With Cutting Edge Solutions
Alexander Tabibi, M.D.
Chief Executive Officer
Alex came to Perks as CEO after years of closely following the company’s advances.
Alex’s interest stemmed from his position as President of ZCapital - a privately held investment firm based in Los Angeles that specializes in technology companies that use new mediums to deliver a range of new services. Having seen the success and failure of many companies based on the motivation and knowledge base of the employees and VAR’s of these products and services – the web seemed to make a unified motivation portal the most efficacious and the most cost-efficient methodology for delivering real-time incentives.
He has brought to Perks many years of experience closely dealing with issues arising in technology companies – from HR to marketing and beyond. His knowledge of call centers through his earlier ventures has also been an invaluable asset – allowing our company an inside view. Moreover – his insistence on internationalization of our catalogue has been extremely beneficial as our clients have requested the ability to expand into other countries where their people and resellers have previously been unable to participate in incentive programs.
Alex is a Board Certified physician – trained in Oncology. He attended the UCLA undergraduate program, USC Medical School where he graduated with Highest Distinction and subsequently attended Cedars Sinai Medical Center for residency and fellowship. His scientific background and interest in the fundamental principles of the psychological aspects of rewards on behaviors has been influential on our platform: the "Science of Motivation".
