Professional Growth

Professional growth may sound like accumulating notches on a belt – bigger title, more money, more responsibility, maybe even your own business.

Guest: Brian Alvo

Brian Alvo, the Founder of NextGen Center, an organization that fosters growth, development, and transformational experiences for the next generation of leaders, so that they are better prepared to navigate their professional and guide those they work with.

Brian’s own career path began as a civilian analyst with the United States Marine Corps, and then spanned multiple industries.

As a Director of Corporate Development at LabCorp, Brian led strategic teams to realign and grow divisional business into national programs. Then as Vice President of Business Development and Strategic Accounts at one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Durham, NC, he helped grow the company from 14 to 50+ team members in less than two years’ time.

Although he managed to earn a Duke MBA along the way as he navigated these impressive career moves, Brian found that the transitions from contributor to manager to leader were often harder than they needed to be. He recognized a critical need for organizations to better support and invest in their emerging leaders and that realization planted the seeds for the mission and vision of his NextGen Center.
