Alexander M. RosenaU
Managing Partner & CEO
Prior to co-founding Grizzly Equity Partners, Alex spent seven years working for CrossFire Group, a staffing and recruiting firm. While there, he was a part of two bolt-on acquisitions, including MedNational Staffing, and spent his days leading teams in account management, finance, and marketing. Alex was also responsible for closing and managing the company’s largest account. Before that, he was the Co-Founder and Producer at Rumor Productions, a fiction film movie production company. Fundraising for Rumor’s first feature-length movie was spearheaded by Alex, as was the production and management of the film set. The motion picture went on to be sold for distribution on a deal Alex orchestrated.
In 2021, Grizzly Equity acquired a stake in CrossFire Group and MedNational Staffing, where Alex rejoined the team as President of both organizations. Most of his time is spent on the CrossFire side, where he oversees recruiting and sales efforts.
Alex brings his financial background and entrepreneurial experience to Grizzly Equity Partners. His goal is to provide the tools necessary for a business to take the next step. Some entrepreneurs invent, while others can see how existing ideas fit together, creating sustainable growth.
Alex graduated from Michigan State University with a bachelor's degree in Finance and a specialization in Entrepreneurship. Go Green! He earned his MBA at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business.
Alex enjoys playing hockey, fly fishing, water sports, traveling, and exploring Detroit with his wife, Kirsten, and their dog, Turk.
