ABOUT

For the last decade, I’ve worked as a senior leader at the renowned design & innovation firm IDEO, where I became its principal storytelling expert and Executive Design Director. My path winds through philosophy at Oxford, classical theater, and international journalism with the BBC. More at LinkedIn. I’ve been called “a transformational asset”, “a creative acupuncturist”, and “a river of ideas”.

I move quickly, carefully, and with discretion. And I seek always to leave people with brighter eyes and fuller hearts.

“Alex is the Swiss Army knife of inspiration. There is no-one I have ever worked with that I would recommend more.”
- Ben Swire, Founder, Make Believe Works

“If I could call just one person to elevate my thinking and communication, it would be Alex. Every truly exceptional leader has a thought partner supporting and sparring with them behind the scenes. The smart ones want Alex in their corner to do just that.”
— SVP, Fortune 50
