Alex has spent his career in the Bank working in many areas of IT. Alex was appointed to his current role as Head of Information Security in January 2014.  Since then, he initiated a major overhaul of the Information Security function to ensure the Bank's security team, systems and defence capabilities were aligned to protect the Bank against the challenging external environment.
Prior to this role, Alex held senior roles as part of the Service Delivery function; including Head of Operational Services where he was responsible for the day-to-day running of the IT Service to all of National Australia Group Europe banks, as well as some of the National Australia Bank (NAB) services.  Alex's time in the front line of IT Service Delivery has given him a unique insight into how the Bank runs and the complexities of running Banking platforms. Thereafter, Alex was Head of Technical Services where he was responsible for the management and planning of all IT infrastructure for the Bank.  This included management of some of the Bank's major IT suppliers e.g. IBM, HP, Oracle, Microsoft and Dell.  During this time, Alex has held influential roles in most of the Banks' major change programmes such as the de-merger from NAB and the IPO of CYBG.
