Alex Benn

Alex has been driving and sharing since age 3; his parents liked the sharing much better. He later piloted vehicles from mopeds to Maseratis, worked as a mechanic, circled North America on a modified sportbike, and created an informal car sharing program in the 1990s. Alex was VP of Business Development at Walmart’s Global Ecommerce division, and led Strategy and Business Development at Minted and Fidex, two online marketplaces. Alex began his online career at eBay in 1999, executing many of eBay’s significant early partnerships following his time as a lawyer at Cooley Godward. He is a graduate of Stanford Law School and Brown University.
