As the Chairman of Police Credit Union since 2012, Alex offers extensive corporate governance and leadership experience in Board and senior management roles across a range of state and local government, and non-government organisations.

Alex had a successful and decorated career as a South Australian police officer, having commenced as a recruit in 1975 and retiring at the commissioned rank of Chief Inspector in late 2020.

In November 2022, Alex was appointed by the State Government as the Community Recovery Coordinator for the many communities impacted by the River Murray flood event.

These roles showcased his open and engaging leadership style and strong capacity for decision-making and strategic thinking, combined with competency in establishing and maintaining beneficial and effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders during emergency and rebuilding phases.

Alex was motivated to become a Police Credit Union Board Member by the desire to make a substantial governance contribution to the strategic performance and effective operations of the Credit Union, ultimately enhancing the interests of Members and the organisation.

In addition to his extensive leadership and governance experience, Alex has a reputation for meaningfully engaging and supporting communities, as well as developing and maintaining significant and diverse stakeholder relationships – highly valuable leadership skills that develop confidence and commitment amongst the Board, Executive team and staff of Police Credit Union.
