Alex Lau currently serves as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Averin Capital Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: ACAA), a special purpose acquisition company that raised $250 million in its February 2026 IPO. He has held that role since October 21, 2025, working alongside Chairman and CEO David A. Berry, the former Flagship Pioneering general partner who co-founded Averin Capital. The SPAC, sponsored by an affiliate of Averin Capital, targets businesses at the intersection of technology and health, with a particular focus on companies leveraging artificial intelligence and automation to modernize legacy healthcare incumbents. Deutsche Bank served as sole bookrunner on the offering, and Davis Polk advised the underwriters.
In parallel with his SPAC responsibilities, Lau has served as Partner and Chief Operating Officer at Averin Capital since February 2025. Averin is a multi-stage investment firm focused on transformative technologies at the intersection of health and technology. In his COO role, Lau is focused on platform, finance, and operations, bringing over a decade of venture capital operations experience to the firm. His work at Averin builds on a substantial track record of scaling investment platforms and supporting portfolio company growth.
Prior to joining Averin Capital, Lau spent more than ten years at OpenView Venture Partners, an expansion-stage software investment firm, where he led all firm operations. At OpenView, he oversaw a wide range of functions including finance, talent management, investor relations, and operational strategy. His work was instrumental in scaling the firm's assets under management from $0.4 billion to over $2 billion and in supporting the growth of numerous portfolio companies. Before OpenView, Lau held corporate finance roles at General Electric and at Cimpress (formerly Vistaprint), where he led various finance functions.
Lau earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Bentley University and his MBA from Boston College. He is based in the Boston area, while Averin Capital and its SPAC affiliate are headquartered in New York at 240 West 40th Street. His areas of expertise include financial innovation, operational efficiency, scalability and growth, and strategy. Under his and Berry's leadership, Averin Capital Acquisition Corp. completed its IPO on February 19, 2026, pricing 25 million units at $10.00 each on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ACAAU, with each unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-sixth of one redeemable warrant exercisable at $11.50.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002098275 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 4 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 3 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
