Alex has over 5 years’ experience in project and programme management, business development, monitoring and evaluation, and capacity strengthening.

Before joining HAD, Alex worked for a humanitarian consultancy firm, managing projects and programmes on behalf of several charities and INGOs in the UK, US, Europe and Canada. His track record includes the coordination of emergency response projects and development programmes in collaboration with local staff and partners across Africa, Asia, and the MENA region.

In his current role as Programmes Coordinator at HAD, Alex manages the delivery of capacity strengthening initiatives for local and national NGOs to enable and empower them to deliver effective humanitarian services. In recent years he has developed his skills as a trainer, co-delivering HAD’s Project DPro training in Kenya and Ethiopia.

Alex graduated with a distinction in MSc Conflict, Security and Development from the University of Birmingham, where he designed and conducted fieldwork research along the highly remote and insecure Afghan-Tajik border.

Outside of work, Alex volunteers with the British Red Cross as an Emergency Response Volunteer. He has travelled extensively, and enjoys hiking and camping around the UK.
