Alex Stone
About Alex
I am an innovative, creative and strategic senior marketing and business leader with over 30 years’ experience in marketing, branding, media and comms, and business operations.
I have built, scaled and mentored high-performing marketing functions, and delivered against double-digit growth objectives, through strategic marketing initiatives, brand strategy and awareness, demand generation, digital and AI marketing, as well as content, thought leadership and PR.
I aim to be an inspiring leader who brings empathy, understanding, flexibility, supportiveness and transparency to my teams, those I collaborate with, and, indeed, everything I do.
I was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD (AuADHD) in May 2023 and it explained a lot about my life and my career! Most notably, the things I thought made me different or stopped me from feeling like I truly fitted in, were the very same things that make me a highly creative, innovative, focused, passionate, friendly, and authentic person, and marketer.
Not only that, but my diagnosis helped me both forgive and understand myself as being #DifferentNotDeficient. As well as opening my eyes to these challenges, my new self-understanding and journey of discovery about neurodiversity, brought with it the realisation that I am definitely not alone.
Because of my life and work experiences, I am passionate about changing how neurodivergent people are seen, understood and nurtured both in their personal lives and in the workplace. I also love my profession and aim to be the best marketer and leader I can - every day.
