→ About Alex…
I was appointed InterTalent's Managing Director in 2020, becoming the youngest person to hold the role in the agency’s 30-year history.
I oversee InterTalent’s day-to-day operations, drive its creative vision, and lead on our acquisitions and partnerships while continuing to represent my personal roster of clients, including Vinnie Jones, Grace Dent, Ross Kemp, Sally Nugent, Scarlett Moffatt, Steve Backshall & Omid Djalili.
I studied Theatre Producing at The Royal Central School of Speech & Drama and began my career in the West End. Coming from a family of agents, I transitioned into talent management at Curtis Brown before spending over three years at ARG, where I worked with their extremely high-profile actors.
Since joining InterTalent in 2012, I have negotiated more than £40 million in talent deals across all areas of the industry and have developed new & valuable IP for our clients. As MD, I've expanded InterTalent by launching new divisions in Brand Partnerships, Comedy, Creators, Corporates & Live Events, Business Ventures and Sport, while strengthening its long-established Scripted and Unscripted business.
The company has more than 5x its turnover in that time and has been nominated for Talent Agency of the Year at the Edinburgh TV Awards 2026.
