Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Blandford is a Principal Consultant specialising in digital transformation, product management and qualitative research with 11 years’ experience helping public sector and civic organisations build services users actually need. He has a strong track record embedding product thinking at scale—growing teams from zero to eight at Cambridge and shaping portfolio, governance and delivery across complex universities and government departments. Comfortable moving between policy and practice, he has led work from machine-learning email classification in the Cabinet Office to Covid-19 testing service design at NHSX, and has repeatedly translated academic insight (DPhil in Anthropology, Oxford) into pragmatic digital strategy. Equally at home as a solo consultant or senior leader, he combines user research, data-aware product design and delivery coaching to upskill teams and create lasting capability. An unexpected strength is his ability to brief and influence senior stakeholders across academia, government and industry while keeping delivery tightly focused on measurable user outcomes.
