In 2014, Alex was the founder and CEO of global event series and consultancy, FashTech, bringing the worlds of fashion and technology together. More than 60+ events were hosted between London, New York and San Francisco with 2016 seeing him launch their inaugural FashTech summit, labelled the ‘anti-conference’, in partnership with Condé Nast. The summit saw 300 people, 57 speakers and 60 brands in attendance across two days.
After working for creative agency, TwelveA.M, Alex joined Talenthouse in 2018, the world’s largest creator collaboration platform where he was VP, Strategic Partnerships.

Following this, in 2021 Alex defined the vision for a magazine that aligns mixed reality with popular culture. As Editor in Chief of Reality.House Magazine, Alex has led a cross-functional team to publish the first XR magazine aligned to a fashion magazine aesthetic.
