More about Ed Alfke:

Although Ed became a self-made millionaire in his early twenties, he admits he did it the hard way, on his own without the guidance of mentors. After more than 35 years of building companies, Ed says he’s learned more from his business failures than his successes. Today he’s passionate about helping his CEO mentees learn from his costly mistakes to turn their challenges into victories and fast track their success. Ed’s most recent project was recognized as one of the ‘Top 10 early stage companies in Canada’ and has won multiple awards for technological innovations.

Ed lives in wine and lake country, is a heli-skier, windsurfs and is learning kiteboarding and enjoys time with family and close friends.

Ed will occasionally consult with growing companies, and has, on rare occasion, become an Interim CEO to help in  a given situation.

Ed is accepting 5 new mentees who are  CEO’s in search of more success both in building their companies,and enjoying life while they “get it done”. If you qualify for being one of these,  you will have a guy who “has  been there and done that” many times. The small investment will create huge dividends for you, and your company.
