Alex Bush

After graduating college, Alex started working for a manufacturers rep firm in the telecommunications industry learning all the parts & pieces that encompasses a complete network system. He performed training classes throughout the mid-Atlantic area on product and system design, new product reviews and supported certified installers. In 2001, Alex took a position with a local contractor selling the systems that he once designed. This company was a large mechanical & electrical shop, so he was encouraged to sell not just network cabling solutions, but the full breath of systems they offered. Alex learned how all the different layers of construction come together as a project is developed with a heavy focus on the data center market. In 2008, Alex decided to start his own business. With a solid client base and the support of his family, Alex started Marathon. Through the years, Marathon has changed management and focus to better align with the core direction he had originally envisioned. Now, 13 years later, Marathon has established itself as a leader in the DMV with multiple multi-year service contracts, regular clients, and solid manufacturer partnerships. Alex has earned many certifications over the years such as Axis, Genetec, Belden, and Bicsi. He also maintains his Maryland Security and DCJS licenses.

As the President of Marathon Technology Solutions, Alex oversees the day-to-day operations of the company, supports sales and marketing efforts, and provide guidance and inspiration to the team. He supports the technology growth with guidance from his peers as they teach me about me and emerging products. Alex works hand-in-hand with the accounting group to ensure the financial growth and stability. He supports the Operations Team on project engineering, planning and execution to establish a streamlined transition. Recently, the marketing decision was made to start attending tradeshows and become more involved in the industry from a promotional standpoint. Alex attends tradeshows, manufacturer conferences, and industry exhibitions to broaden the visibility throughout the industry.
