Bio
Maria Bostonian-Spratt
I had the pleasure of working with Alex for a number of years at RBS. As a lead manager in Finance she sought continuous improvement in ensuring accurate reporting of risk weighted assets across the organization and driving change to implement this. I represented the Global Trade Product group and we worked extensively on cleaning up years of mergers and acquisitions, multiple ledger systems and processing differences for over 33 countries regarding the booking of trade products. Her in depth knowledge and expertise was integral to determining what needed to change and then guiding our teams across the globe. Product re-categorization, technical system and interface changes, operational clean-ups and ledger standardization led to billions in RWA savings for Trade Product. In her overall role, we also worked on other efforts regarding regulatory changes, lending products and strategic bank initiatives. Alex is always an engaged and enthusiastic partner. Her professionalism, integrity and commitment along with excellent communication skills ensured that all levels of management, from board to individual work streams were apprised of the opportunities and risks. Much of what we worked on had high visibility and pressure but her composure and shared sense of humor kept all motivated and happy to be part of the team. I worked in banking for over 35 years and can truly say that Alex stands out as one of the most productive and pleasant individuals I ever worked with.

I worked with Alex at RBS on and off for about 10 years altogether. She always approached her roles with passion and commitment. She is smart, proactive and always finds time to help others even with her own full agenda. She was one of the key SMEs in her area of expertise and one of the individuals I would always go to if I wanted a common sense, straightforward second opinion on something. She is tough and resilient even in times of rapid change, but maintains a sense of humour even when things are not going well. I would not hesitate to recommend Alex to a prospective employer.
