Chief Executive Officer, NHS Counter Fraud Authority
Alex's career began at the age of 18 when he moved to London to join the Metropolitan Police as a cadet, completing his service as a Detective Chief Superintendent with City of London Police. He specialised in many aspects of crime fighting that took him around the world and was an active hostage and crisis negotiator but one aspect of his job that he found particularly interesting from early in his career was fraud investigation. He headed the Metropolitan Police Cyber Crime Unit and Fraud Teams and ultimately acted as Head of National Fraud Operations and Deputy National Policing Coordinator for Economic Crime. It was therefore a natural progression for Alex to bring his experience and expertise to the CFA - he joined the NHSCFA as CEO in 2021.
