Alex has spent over 15 years dedicated to working with family businesses, family offices and wealthy families, supporting them through generational change. As a specialist consultant, mentor and facilitator, her background as a chartered accountant, coupled with her master’s degree in organisational and social psychology from the London School of Economics, enables her to navigate both the commercial and personal priorities that are important to her family clients.
Previously, Alex was a partner in a boutique family enterprise consulting firm, which was acquired by Deloitte in 2014. As a partner in Deloitte, she became national head of the firm’s family enterprise consulting practice, where she led and oversaw projects ranging in focus from family succession planning, next-generation development and education to the creation of new family office structures.
Through Kinestra Partners, which she founded in 2018, Alex is now focused on personally working with a select group of significant family clients. Alongside her busy consulting practice, Alex also has a number of governance roles within family and family business structures. She is the non-family chairwoman for three different family councils, each with their own complexities, and has previously chaired various other family decision making entities including the protector committee for a global family structure. She also currently serves as a member of a group board remuneration committee, representing the family’s voice in this decision making process.
