Team

Westgate Technologies strives to maximize synergy, the modern name of what Aristotle defined since ancient times as “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”. Founder Alex Doaga has a history of building high functioning teams throughout his various ventures and takes great pride in getting the most out of people’s individual skill sets.

Westgate Technologies considers every project as unique and assembles a team of subject matter experts, each with a successful history in a distinct discipline to bring a holistic solution to the plan. Think of it as the team is assembled by the requirements of the project, rather than a static team that may or may not have the specific expertise necessary taking on a project.

Alex Doaga

Founder & President

Growing up in Romania in a family of teachers engrained Alex with several important lessons: One, education and knowledge were the key to a better future. Two, western philosophies and self-determination were a much better fit for his personality and spirit.

It was these core values that would be the roadmap he followed as he would become a dedicated entrepreneur and eventually founded Westgate Technology Corporation, which stands for “Gateway to the West”.
