Mr. Alan Urech is a Senior Executive with 30 years experience in successfully developing and commercializing companies. He has developed businesses by using strong strategic, tactical and operational leadership skills to help them understand and implement appropriate business aspects of a company's growth. These organizations include HBO & Company where he was part of a team that saw the organization's expansion from initial start-up to about $350 million dollars in revenue within 12 years.
