History
Alpha was founded upon the combined knowledge, skills, and experience accumulated by First Principal Doug Elwell over his 30 years in the communications and technology industries. Having focused primarily on providing marketing, technology, and related services for the first 20 years of his career, his experiences during that time made it clear how important good management is. As a result, for the last 10 years Doug has focused more on management consulting in order to help prevent business problems before they start.
