Alex K. Tchekmeian has combined his entertainment and music background with his entrepreneurial spirit to find success in a wide range of business ventures. With more than a decade of experience in the entertainment industry, Tchekmeian’s drive and ambition led to the foundation for what has since become a flourishing enterprise comprised of multiple companies, all catering to the merchandising and design industries. Founded in 1999, AKT Enterprises has launched a diverse portfolio of businesses and has become a full-service provider of print and digital media services.
Born in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, in 1986, Tchekmeian put his talents to good use over the years to become an accomplished, young businessman. He has been honored as one of the “Top 25 Entrepreneurs Under 25” by Business Week and was also recognized by the Orlando Business Journal as one of 2010’s “Top 40 Under 40,” which spotlights 40 of the region’s top young business and civic leaders each year. Tchekmeian recently contributed to Chicken Soup for the Soul’s “Extraordinary Teens” edition, which offers business and life advice from Tchekmeian as well as other noted young entrepreneurs.
Tchekmeian strives to give back to the music community that has nurtured AKT Enterprises for many years with Give Them Wings to Fly, the organization he established in 2005. Give Them Wings to Fly provides young musicians and schools with instruments they could not otherwise afford. Tchekmeian also speaks frequently at schools and conventions on the trials and tribulations of entrepreneurship at a young age.
In addition to the steady growth of AKT's internal operations, Tchekmeian has recently announced the grand opening of Big Top, AKT’s new flagship retail store located in Winter Park, Florida.
Tchekmeian has an awareness of current trends and a solid grasp of technology that help the company create full-service solutions for organizations of all shapes and sizes. The continued success of AKT lies in Tchekmeian’s ability to stay in-tune and one step ahead of a fast-paced, constantly changing industry. “The real satisfaction for me lies in the creative thought process and anticipating what might be on the company’s horizon,” he said. “This industry moves quickly, and I am focused on bringing AKT to the next level in technology, products, and customer service.”
With a client and customer base of over 500,000, AKT Enterprises continues to expand by delivering the highest quality products through the diversified talents of the company’s rapidly growing number of employees. A dedication to excellent products and services, coupled with the latest cutting-edge technologies and processes, have proven AKT Enterprises to be one of the most innovative companies rising in today’s entertainment industry.
