Alexander is a multidisciplinary Talent Resource Manager with a strong foundation in creative resourcing, artist representation, and production support. At JOAN Creative & JOAN Studios, he specializes in curating and sourcing a diverse blend of photographers, directors, editors, animators, and freelancers, ensuring each project is matched with the right creative minds to bring bold ideas to life.
With a sharp instinct for aligning talent with creative opportunities, Alexander thrives at the intersection of vision and execution. He builds lasting relationships with both emerging and established artists, acting as a bridge between creative teams, production, and the talent who shape the work. He actively platforms underrepresented voices and fosters inclusive talent pipelines to ensure both the output, and the people behind it, reflect the world we live in.
Before joining JOAN, Alexander was a Production Manager at LE BOOK, where he led the execution of CONNECTIONS—a global series of creative industry events spotlighting leading image-makers and enabling collaboration between brands, agencies, and production talent.
Whether he’s sourcing directors for a commercial shoot, supporting content production from pre-pro to post, or organizing engaging creative showcases, Alexander brings warmth, clarity, and a people-first approach to every partnership. His deep network of artists, reps, and vendors—paired with a sharp cultural sensibility—makes him a valuable asset to any content-driven team.
