senior account executive
“It may be a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information. But marshalling the rest of it has proved to be a sustaining and stimulating experience.”
Alexander joined g+ in January 2010 following a short stint of freelance editing and research work for international organisations in the post-Soviet space.
He has lived and worked in the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia. From 2007 to 2008 he worked as a journalist in the Republic of Georgia, gaining a valuable insight into the region. He later studied Russian in Kyrgyzstan while continuing to be involved in journalism. Alexander graduated from the University of Nottingham in the UK with a first class honours degree in History and Politics.
He also holds a Master's degree in International Conflict Studies from King's College, London, where he specialised in the Chechen conflict. Aside from his native English he speaks some Russian.
