Alex is Head of Behavioural Risk at NatWest Group where she and her team develop innovative data-led ways to reduce the risk of poor outcomes for the bank, and customers, resulting from behavioural root causes.
She has also just regained her student card; as of September she started a part-time PhD at The London School of Economics!
She is also the author of the highly acclaimed ‘Poles Apart: Why People Turn Against Each Other, and How to Bring Them Together’, clearly a book for our times.
