Alexander joined Generation Rent from the blood cancer charity Anthony Nolan, where he was most recently Head of International Strategy. Prior to that he spent five years as a political communications consultant working on projects as diverse as rights for children in care, Crossrail and employment skills, after a background working for the Labour Party and in Parliament. Asked what motivates him as the Director of Generation Rent, Alex says, "People aren't forced into food banks because of the price of food, they are driven there because of the cost of housing".
