Alexander didn't. Alexander died before he really reached the "consolidation" and "ruling" parts of his conquest. In fact he was too "ungreek" for his Greek subjects and is one of the reasons rebellions were forming, he was acting to Persian. The spread of Greek culture occured after his empire was carved up into the Hellenistic kingdoms and the rulers their did the spreading. This was done by making Greeks "elites" within the kingdoms. If you want to be important you had to be Greek. As time went on the wealthy non-Greeks imitated Greek culture themselves and learned Greek so as to curry favor with their Greek overlords. In fact the spread of Greek ideas really only occured among the upper classes as the lower classes were mostly left alone and taxed. Of course spreading among the upper classes is the best way to preserve the culture because they were the ones that had copies of books made and these repeated copies being made (along with peicing fragments) is how the modern world reclaimed Greek ideas.
