Charles Orndorff has built a professional career defined by steady growth, operational discipline, and long-term leadership across several industries. Based in North Carolina, he currently serves as President of Alpha Investments, where he applies decades of practical experience in management, operations, and executive oversight. His career reflects a measured approach to leadership, shaped by hands-on responsibility and consistent performance. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Management Information Systems with a focus on general management from Radford University. He later completed a Doctor of Management in Information Systems with a specialization in management through a business school program. This educational background supported his ability to work across both technical and operational roles while maintaining a people-centered leadership style. He began his professional career in the 1990s as a Territory Sales Representative with a beverage bottling organization in Virginia. This early role allowed him to develop core skills in sales planning, customer relationships, and regional accountability. He later transitioned into an Operations Manager position with a national industrial supply distributor, where he gained experience overseeing logistics, inventory processes, and branch-level operations that supported efficiency and consistency. He then moved into a Regional Sales Director role with a national nutrition retail company, overseeing multiple markets across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. In this position, he focused on sales performance, cost management, compliance, and leadership development. He worked closely with store and district managers to set realistic goals, monitor results, and improve operational consistency. His leadership approach emphasized clarity, accountability, and sustainable improvement rather than short-term gains. In the mid-2000s, he shifted into a post-sales project management role with a technology services firm.
