Alex Wilson is on his third career.

First career involved marketing for Armco Steel Corporation for 12 years. At the time, the challenge was to make steel (in general) and Armco (in particular) seem contemporary and sexy in the face of heavy marketing by other materials; aluminum, plastics, composites. Mr. Wilson conceived and executed a series of high concept, high visibility projects involving racing cars, drag boats, student design projects and deconstruction of various autos to establish the material content then, amazingly, unknown to the auto manufacturers. In the process, Mr. Wilson served as the Chairman of the Ferrous Committee of the Society of Automotive Engineers.

The second career was acting as COO/CEO of a series of manufacturing and logistics companies over the next 20 years. The companies manufactured industrial doors, renovated period weapons and handled air cargo for foreign flag airlines.

Mr. Wilson's most recent years have been involved with connecting startup companies with early-stage funding, acting as COO for the expansion of an investment banking firm into a ten-partner operation and, most recently, providing business brokerage services for the owners of private companies.

Mr. Wilson studied Mechanical Engineering at Duke University, received his BS in Industrial Design from University of Cincinnati and his MBA in Marketing from Xavier University.

Mr. Wilson has a California license ( CA # 01324058 ) for conducting business brokerage transactions. He is an active member of Professional Networking Group, California Association of Business Brokers, Financial Planners Association of Los Angeles and Association for Corporate Growth.
