Narrative:
While at FL410 we experienced a cabin altitude warning horn and light. We donned O2 mask and established communication. We followed the qrc checklist and were able to get the cabin to stabilize at approximately 10;200 feet. We had no green altitude light on the pressurization control panel leading us to believe we had a dual controller failure. We followed the emergency descent QRH and advised ATC and dispatch of our intentions. We chose [a nearby alternate] as a diversion point. The cabin began to be in the normal range as we went through about 15;000 feet. We landed without incident.
