About Alexander

I’ve spent most of my career building technology to help people get on with the real work.

Not technology for its own sake. Not tools because they are fashionable. But practical systems, products and services that help people do something important with less friction, more clarity, and better outcomes.

The through-line

Different titles, the same underlying work.

Across finance, healthcare, government, education, telecoms, FMCG and startups, I’ve worked in roles that often looked different on paper but shared the same underlying challenge: understand the people, understand the system, and design something that genuinely helps.

I’ve worked as a business process designer, project manager, product designer, UX designer, service designer, strategist and founder. The titles changed. The work underneath stayed surprisingly consistent: listening carefully, making sense of complexity, aligning people, and delivering practical solutions.

I’m comfortable in the messy middle between users, operations, technology and leadership. I’ve written user stories, broken down epics, shaped roadmaps, prioritised competing needs, worked through technical issues with development teams, and led delivery environments where product owners and agile delivery roles reported into me. In practice these roles often operated closer to delivery-focused or technical product ownership within development teams, while I worked across broader strategic, operational and product direction.

I’ve also helped organisations make difficult strategic choices — balancing customer needs, operational realities, team capacity, technical constraints and commercial pressures.

The common thread is not a domain or a tool. It’s a way of working.

What I look for

Useful work. Meaningful systems.

I care most about work that feels important and valuable — not just to shareholders, but to the people whose lives or work are improved by it. Making a profit is fine. Making a real difference is gold.

I’m especially drawn to environments where systems are fragmented, workflows are operationally complex, multiple stakeholders exist, organisational priorities compete, and the human consequences of poor systems are significant.

Want to talk?

If something in here resonates — or you’re working on a problem that sits between product, operations and people — I’d be glad to hear from you.
