Every CEO and C-Suite Leader Would Benefit From a Trusted Coach and Advisor

Having had a career with several leadership and board level roles with major blue-chip companies such as Siemens, Airbus, Hewlett Packard and BAE Systems, and more recently led change programmes in companies such as Babcock, Rolls Royce, QinetiQ, AWE and St Gobain, my real passion is now working alongside C-Suite leaders, coaching them to develop their executive teams and their leadership shadow.

As well as co-authoring ‘The Engagement Habit’, I am a visiting speaker for the Exec MBA at CASS Business School. Advisory Board member of the Involvement and Participation Association. Previously I was a founding member of the UK Government Engagement Taskforce.

I have been an EMCC Advanced Executive Coach for over 15 years, logging thousands of hours coaching hundreds of C-Suite leaders. My style is practical and based on real life business experience. My approach is based around ‘working alongside’ leaders, shadowing meetings so that our coaching conversations are practical and brought to life by relevant observations and feedback. Much of my work is done in partnership with companies supporting their talent development over many years’

I live in Cheshire in the UK and work globally. I have a lovely wife, and a grown-up son who is now making his way in a business career – my biggest coaching challenge to date!

Over the past two years with Alex’s focus and coaching, my global executive team and I have built the leadership habits required to develop a culture of performance and collaboration needed to deliver our mission led strategy.

Steve Wadey, Group CEO QinetiQ plc.

Having worked with Alex for several years, few coaches have his depth of C-Suite experience and knowledge of executive performance. He is also one of the few industry leaders who understands how to shift culture and can provide evidence of having done just that.

Iain Stevenson, Interim CEO, AWE.

Alex worked with me and my team for most of 2022 as an executive coach. His blend of hands-on experience and neuroscientific knowledge, coupled with an at-elbow coaching style was highly effective for me and my team. We are better as individuals and as a team and he has left us with a suite of tools and techniques to continue our improvement journey.

Rob Neal, Director Rolls Royce plc.

Since the inception of our division 18 months ago, Alex has been our executive team coach, facilitating our quarterly workshops in Australia. He is a world class coach and the experience he has of forming teams across multiple geographies and the high levels of trust he has developed has enabled him to influence our CEO and the whole executive team to both form and perform.

Jane Stark, Chief People Officer, QinetiQ Australia.
