About Alexander
Alexander is profoundly motivated to strengthen the effectiveness of behaviour change interventions with physiological methods. Outside of work he is an avid mountain climber, and ruthless rare book collector.
Alexander's mission
Despite Social Marketing’s increased leaning towards ‘practicality’, Alexander’s mission is to bring more ‘science’ into the discipline. He envisions this integration as the more frequent adoption of biometric techniques such as EEG and eye-tracking to evaluate our programmes and interventions.
