AlphaBuyer, LLC Seeks Pennsylvania Gas Broker License

Start-up AlphaBuyer, LLC applied for a Pennsylvania natural gas broker license to serve residential customers and commercial customers using less than 6,000 Mcf annually in all service areas. Though an electric broker application from AlphaBuyer does not yet appear as docketed by the PUC Secretary, AlphaBuyer will likely seek such a license. AlphaBuyer will broker customers through its website, and its principals include several former senior directors and managers at GSI Commerce (f/k/a Global Sports Inc), a firm that providers e-commerce and interactive marketing services to over 500 clients including the NFL and other sports leagues, several retail chains such as Ace Hardware, Toys R Us, and Belk, and brands such as Calvin Klein and Dockers. AlphaBuyer is led by CEO Kevin Johnson, former CEO of Dryden Procurement Technologies, LLC, a procurement and spend management company.
