About the speaker

Alex is a COO turned public speaking coach who specialises in helping leaders deliver high-stakes presentations, both internally at work and externally on thought leadership stages.


He does this by helping presenters to…

  1. Communicate with confidence in high-pressure situations,

  2. Convey complex information with clarity,

  3. Connect with their audiences when they present

At the heart of his philosophy is the idea that what you say matters; born out of the frustration of sitting through too many presentations that missed the mark, both as a COO and when curating the line-up for TEDxClapham an offshoot of TED talks.


It’s a principle that has been pivotal in helping leaders prepare major presentations; some of which have gone on to change government legislation, go viral online and raise finance from seed all the way through to IPO.
