Background

About Alex Corbett

I transform uncertainty into clarity. With data-driven insights from thousands of programmes, I help leaders navigate £multi-million change projects with confidence. Leading Proteus as a Managing Director, I've seen how transformation is shifting. Today, 8 out of 10 change initiatives are highly complex (up from 5 out of 10 a decade ago), and 7 in 10 transformations fail to meet business goals. These represent real challenges keeping executives awake at night. My career across financial services, retail, FMCG, advertising, and public sector has taught me that successful transformation isn't about perfect planning - it's about asking the right questions from the start. At Proteus, we've developed a unique approach built on insights from over project reviews and $100B+ in programme investments. What drives me is seeing leaders shift from feeling overwhelmed by change to confidently directing it. I specialise in- Identifying problems before they happen through predictive analytics - Aligning stakeholders around clear goals - Building capabilities for self-sufficient change management - Delivering practical insights not theoretical frameworks My most impactful work includes leading a £150M wealth management operating model transformation, reviewing a £1B+ Workday programme, and delivering £35M in benefits for a multinational insurer. I believe the best transformations make my team less necessary over time - where we transfer knowledge to build lasting capability within clients' organisations. If you're leading complex change, let's connect. Setting up for success in those crucial early weeks makes all the difference.
