Background

About Alex Wilson

I'm an experienced Project and Programme Manager with a strong track record of delivering complex business transformations and operational improvements across diverse industries. Over the past 8 years, I've specialised in establishing PMO functions, leading cross-functional teams, and driving change initiatives that deliver measurable results. Currently at British Airways, I manage workforce planning and resource deployment for teams of up to 60 people, whilst leading multiple change projects in fast-paced operational environments. My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on delivery - whether that's implementing new EAM systems that improve asset visibility, securing £25m in commercial contracts, or delivering cost savings of up to £1.5m annually. What sets me apart is my ability to navigate complex stakeholder landscapes and build consensus across diverse groups - from trade unions to senior leadership teams. I've successfully managed the integration of businesses, coordinated regulatory compliance initiatives, and established governance frameworks that outlast individual projects. My experience spans both Agile and Waterfall methodologies, and I'm equally comfortable leading technical implementations and managing commercial negotiations. Throughout my career, I've consistently been brought in to solve challenging problems - setting up trading desks, establishing PMO functions, and driving operational excellence in resource-constrained environments. I thrive in situations where others might struggle, building sustainable solutions whilst ensuring stakeholder buy-in and regulatory compliance. I'm passionate about creating positive change within organisations and helping teams achieve their potential. Whether establishing new processes, implementing technology solutions, or managing complex programmes, I focus on delivering outcomes that make a real difference to business performance. Currently exploring new opportunities where I can apply my programme management expertise and change leadership skills to drive transformation in dynamic, growth-focused organisations.
