FOUNDER & CEO

The person behind the product.

Founder & CEO

Daniel Alpert

Founding Operator & CEO

With 25+ years in digital transformation, Daniel has spent his career helping global organizations navigate the gap between strategy and execution. As a senior leader at Publicis Sapient and Razorfish, he worked with brands including Marriott, McDonald's, Southwest Airlines, and Royal Caribbean — guiding complex, multi-year engagements at the intersection of technology, talent, and organizational change.

When he joined Suncoast Venture Studio in 2025, he found himself in a familiar but newly urgent position: trying to staff fast-moving ventures with limited time, limited budget, and a hiring process that wasn't built for how companies actually grow.

RecruitTune is Daniel's answer to that problem — not just as a founder, but as someone who will always be the company's first customer.

His career spans product leadership at Symantec, VP roles in financial technology, and CEO & founder tenures at Sundrop Mobile and Obsidian. He also served as a NASA-trained systems analyst early in his career — a background that still informs how he thinks about building with precision and purpose.

At Suncoast Venture Studio, Sean serves as Founder & COO, helping early-stage companies move from strong technical ideas to real businesses — building operating structure, guiding product direction, and driving teams from prototype to traction.
