According to the Wall Street Journal, Avalos has "helped shape the social phase of the digital era" as well "the founding of the internet as we know it." He is most well known for representing early-stage Facebook and its founder Mark Zuckerberg in the case that later served as the basis for the 2010 Aaron Sorkin film The Social Network, as well as his role as Chief Business, Strategy & Operating Officer at GitHub, the global software platform, during the company's early, hyper-growth stage.
