RedCloud Consulting Names Brett Alston Managing Partner

Industry Expert Joins Firm to Lead Rapid Growth Plans, Anchored in Accountability, Transparency, and Results


BELLEVUE, WA--(Marketwired - Jul 1, 2015) - RedCloud Consulting, a Bellevue-based boutique management-consulting firm, has named industry expert Brett Alston as Managing Partner to drive the company's planned rapid growth in both client and talent acquisition. Previously Alston was a Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Revel Consulting, which he helped build to a $24+ million company and was repeatedly recognized as one of the nation's fastest growing companies on the Inc. 500 list and by the Puget Sound Business Journal. As Managing Partner at RedCloud, Alston will provide the leadership, experience, and determination needed to grow, building on the firm's two-decade history of successful projects in business, IT and aerospace engineering.

"I believe in and have a passion for working with people, both on the client and employee side, and was seeking an opportunity to reengage and leverage my past experiences to help clients solve big challenges," said Alston. "RedCloud has built a platform from which we will grow a wider practice rooted in transparency and authenticity that our clients are seeking in today's consulting industry."

In addition to his past leadership at Revel Consulting, Alston has directed several other successful high growth companies including Hometown National Bank as CEO and Board Member, and most recently Audian (formerly Persephone) as President. Prior to joining the consulting industry, Alston was a Director at Microsoft for more than seven years. He was named by the Puget Sound Business Journal as a top "40 Under 40" business and community leader in 2009 and then led the group's alumni network "The Forty", serving as President, Vice President, and Technology Chair over the course of four years.

"In Brett Alston we gain a leader who has the proven ambition to take RedCloud to a new level as a business, uniquely combined with a strong belief in helping professionals grow in their career, while ensuring business supports the communities in which we work," said Brett Clifton, RedCloud's complementary Managing Partner. "While we've been in business since 1995, this is an important new point for RedCloud enabling us to springboard into great things for our clients and our growing team of consultants."
