Ken Alger
Chief Financial Officer
Ken Alger served on the board at Gajeske before joining the company as CFO in 2019. Ken’s extensive background in finance has established a solid economic foundation for Gajeske that has steered the company through the severe downturn of the energy sector that started in 2019, as well through the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, thanks in large part to Ken’s expertise, Gajeske is financially positioned for continued growth and expansion.
