Alex currently serves as the Vice President of the Business Connect Program and Corporate Affairs for the Minnesota Super Bowl Host Committee. The Business Connect Program is the “supplier diversity” program centered on the 2018 Super Bowl. Alex brings his success and expertise around community and corporate partnerships to this role in an effort to ensure that local minority, women, veteran and LGBT businesses network and learn how to conduct their respective businesses with the NFL and its contractors.

Alex directly supervised the section leaders who are representative of the Small Business Contracting Section (DBE, TGB and Veterans Preference Program), Contract Compliance Section (EEO, Title II & VI) and the Business Development Section (Training, Outreach, Contracts and Federal Reports). All Civil Rights leadership is committed as servant leaders to uphold public needs and collaboration with internal and external partners to create a transparent, efficient and sustainable transportation system for the future.
