New Century Media

Alex joined New Century in the summer of 2009 from Cubitt Consulting, where he worked on the capital markets and private equity desks. He also had a new business development role, heading up marketing initiatives in both UAE and Qatar. Previously, Alex, – who is a fluent Russian speaker – headed up the financial services comms department of London-based International Public Relations Partners. He was also in charge of special projects relating to Russia, including advising a major Swiss firm on its high profile legal dispute with a global corporation in Russia.

Alex is Director of New Century’s financial and professional services practice, specialising in strategic communications and crisis management, including extensive experience advising clients from Russia and CEE. His most recent experience includes advising PPF Investments, City Index, Vincent Tchenguiz, Consensus Business Group, Vestra Wealth, SCM Private, I2BF Asset Management, Ogier and the Moscow International Financial Centre liaison committee.

Alex also provides regular briefings to the British media on Russian affairs – most recently for The Telegraph, Guardian and Independent.

He graduated from University College London in 2007.

I have worked with Alex for the last few years. He provides exceptional strategic guidance and advice on a wide range of issues, which has helped City Index immensely with its corporate communications not just in the UK, but internationally. His technical understanding of our industry is excellent and his contribution to our business has been a big factor behind City Index’s PR successes over the last few years. I would recommend Alex to anyone.
