Alan Trefler Biography and Net Worth

Chairman of Pegasystems

Alan Trefler is the Founder and CEO of Pegasystems Inc., (NASDAQ: PEGA) a Cambridge-based company that empowers the world’s leading enterprises to Build for Change®. He is a visionary leader, technology change-agent, innovative philanthropist, and a trusted advisor to business executives around the world.

He first gained visibility on the international stage when he earned a chess Master rating at age 19 and, against all odds, tied for first place in the 1975 World Open Chess Championship. This facilitated his early AI work at Dartmouth College, including working to teach computers to play chess. After graduation, Alan began a career as a software engineer and architect. However, his passion and support for chess, the game's community, and current champions continues to this day.

As a lead developer of financial and insurance industry software, Alan shared his clients’ frustration with how disconnected the use of technology was from their business processes and goals. Inspired, he founded Pega in 1983 with the vision of creating software that is easy to use and accessible to everyone – businesspeople and IT alike. The model-driven software he pioneered is today known as low-code.
