"Alex Tran is one of the brightest superstars I’ve ever worked with in any capacity. He’s a brilliant communicator who connects with everyone in the building, regardless of their specific task lane, experience level, or workplace status. He’s a servant leader who is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and work tirelessly on the front lines with his team. His passion to succeed is entirely unmatched and his unwavering positive mindset is truly infectious.
And beyond all of his numerous professional skillsets and career accolades, he’s just a damn good person. If we’re picking business teams out on the playground, that dude is gonna be one of the very first picks. Regardless of the role, EVERYONE needs a teammate like that!"
Ben Rogers, On-air Host at The Ben & Skin Show
"Alex’s creativity, dedication and rigor enable him to identify process improvements and efficiencies, while his enthusiasm, confidence, and excellent communication skills enable him to build high-performing talent teams.
A number of initiatives that Alex created and launched while at Exeter remain in play today, supporting the quality and sustainability of his exceptional work."
Michelle Whatley, Former Chief Human Resources Officer at Exeter Finance
"Media sales can be a very daunting and arduous profession. To excel in it takes a person with grit, persistence and competitiveness. Alex is that person. He was able to succeed by developing relationships with his clients through a deep understanding of their industries, organizations and KPIs. He created media campaigns that were not only successful, but residual. Alex's personality, energy and positivity were an integral part of our culture."
Kelly Kibler, Former Region President at iHeartMedia
"What does Alex Tran do well? Anything he sets his mind to. Alex has a creative mind and is not afraid to challenge conventional thinking or the status quo. Alex has a unique way of getting to the root of a problem or opportunity and offering smart solutions. Alex is very customer-focused, whether that customer is internal or external. In addition to Alex’s natural business instincts, Alex also has an infectious sense of humor and brings a great vibe to the team culture."
Dave Keiser, Former Vice President of Sales at iHeartMedia
"When I hired Alex in 2017, there was only one other person in the Marketing and Communications department. His ability to identify, recruit and develop talent allowed him to build out a close-knit team that was defined by the quality, creativity and volume of their work. Alex was responsible for supporting both external business strategy and internal employee engagement initiatives which also speaks to the variety of his skills. Alex also has an energy and enthusiasm that's infectious and will be an asset to any company."
Colin Davis, EVP of Business Strategy at Exeter Finance
"I had the pleasure of collaborating with Alex on a number of corporate initiatives. Whether it was planning and executing department events or developing and promoting a new employee tenure recognition and reward program, Alex always brought strategy, creativity, attention to detail, and limitless energy to his work. He also had a positivity and energy that was a joy to be around and had a huge impact on our corporate culture."
Stacey Giles, Chief Human Resources Officer at Exeter Finance
"Alex Tran is truly a brilliant, hard-working and accomplished marketing executive. As a former employee I can personally vouch that he is one of the best leaders and most reliable associates I’ve ever managed. When Alex worked for me, I trusted him to shepherd our most critical pieces of business, with the most difficult clients. Simply put, he has an incredible work ethic, is amazingly smart, exudes common sense in the heat of the moment, and has a winning way with people. I highly recommend Alex if you need a top performer who can drive your growth and bottom line objectives."
Desiree Johnson, President at Justin Thyme LLC
"Alex is one of a kind, in both personality and ability to build and lead a team. He was instrumental in building our marketing team from the ground up – between securing the necessary talent where needed, to implementing processes and procedures that streamlined the work. He’s a go getter, grinds hard, and is willing to roll up his sleeves and get his hands dirty...from coding emails and editing video. He has high expectations for the quality of work he holds himself and his team to. He’s a great leader, and an even better person."
Sloane Tittle, SVP of Marketing and Communications at Exeter Finance
"Alex is a tremendously talented marketing and communication leader. During my time as his Director of Communication Strategy, I witnessed his ability to develop new, relevant marketing initiatives and pull as much creativity out of our department as possible. It was energizing to see how far we could go and how much we could accomplish together as a team. Alex knows how to balance the organization’s need for production volume with his team’s bandwidth for producing compelling creative work. He’s a strong leader, and I valued having the opportunity to work with him."
John Hoffmann, Former Director of Communication Strategy at Exeter Finance
"During Alex's time at Tic Toc, he showed an affinity for learning new products and processes. We had so much confidence in his professionalism, attention to detail and ability to build rapport that he was immediately put in a client facing role. Although his time with us was brief, he provided an immense amount of value and we would welcome his return at any time."
Alex Watson, VP of Sales/Business Development at Tic Toc
"Alex is indispensable and is your go-to guy for EVERYTHING. I can’t tell you how many times I hear people ask him for help on ANYTHING, including myself. He gets it done and you trust that he’ll get it done, because even in the rare instance he can’t, he will find out how. I’ve worked with Alex the past 2 years at iHeart and not only is he always quick with answers to your questions, solutions for your problems or idea you need; he helps you with a smile on his face and an awesome, positive attitude. He’s a fantastic leader, who is intelligent, supportive, reliable, fun, inspiring and someone you just want to work hard for. He is invaluable and a tremendous asset to any team he’s a part of."
Sue Snyder, National Sales Assistant at iHeartMedia
"Alex is an UNSTOPPABLE FORCE, in anything. Rarely do I have the opportunity to offer unreserved endorsement of the congruency between a person’s potential and their achievement output. But I’m doing it right now. This guy gets it done. I worked with Alex at a financial service provider for a couple of years, during which time the company went public and reached a market cap of nearly $8 billion - with a B. Alex demonstrated grace under duress, focus on measurable goals, and an elusive-to-define performance that always resulted in victories that were better than expected. On a personal note, the man is approachable and a delight to talk to. If you want to be near success, associate with Alex."
Sonny Bynum, President at Stratagenic
