SKILLS
ABOUT ALEXANDER GARCIA-TOBAR
I focus on scaling technologies and people, leading to global companies that grow quickly, profitably, and efficiently (with a dash of fun, of course). I\'ve been through 3 IPOs, several exits, and love the early phases of a startup. Most recently, DigiCert acquired my scale up, Valimail to offer market leading Trust services across Domains, AI services, and email in one bundled advanced solution. In my new role as Strategic Advisor to the CEO, my focus is to help develop and expand DigiCert\'s AI Trust services and continue to evolve our joint solutions. Valimail is focused on Email Authentication as a Service™ - the first of its kind. It\'s highly technical and will put many people to sleep, but we\'re solving some very tough, global problems and generating rabidly passionate clients and partners. We bring visibility & control to our clients\' email services - while also stopping phishing attacks. Our clients are global leaders in their space, and we\'re excited to be authenticating every email they send - many billions per day. Valimail also contributes to the IETF standards group as chair of DMARC and BIMI (co-founded by us) and have code in production at the largest ISPs to keep everyone\'s email safe and trusted. Valimail was acquired by DigiCert September 2025. At Valimail, we help organizations stop phishing, prevent spoofing, and protect their brands by validating and authenticating every sender identity. Valimail provides the only complete, cloud-native DMARC platform trusted by thousands of global organizations: • Automates DMARC, DKIM, SPF, and BIMI • Prevents domain impersonation and brand abuse • FedRAMP-authorized sender identity authentication • Authenticates billions of messages monthly for organizations like Mercedes-Benz, Ryanair, WeWork, and DoorDash, Learn more here: little more about me: I\'ve held various executive and analyst positions at leading research companies such as The Boston Consulting Group and Forrester Research and at silicon valley startups such as ValiCert, Sygate, and SyncTV. I\'m a regular contributor to several publications including CIO Magazine, Forbes, and Dark Reading. I speak 6 languages and love to ski, bike, snorkel, and hang with my family.
