Bio
Tom B.
I worked with Alex over a number of years when I was at Tearfund. Alex has something that's very rare with change makers, he's as comfortable and effective at engaging and mobilising the public, as he is working inside the corridors of power directly. He was a key player in driving forward campaigning across the EU on increasing transparency in the extractives industry. Alex is the type of person you want to have involved in your campaign - he's hugely dependable, a strategic thinker, and a communicator who is able to think about how to craft a message and narrative that will engage the public as well as decision makers.

I spent one year working with Alex at EU-CORD, he was my line manager and a fantastic colleague to work with. As my manager he was very supportive and encouraging and he provided clear direction to my work. I was consistently impressed with his knowledge and understanding about a huge range of development and humanitarian issues. This was put to good use through his work on Agenda 2030. He is experienced in working with the EU institutions and is great at building networks.
