Biography
With over two decades of experience as a serial entrepreneur and thought leader in technology, Alexander has led teams and built startups with global brands including Google, IBM, and Warner Bros.
Alexander started his first company at age 20, growing it into a million-pound turnover PLC, before leading on to work with international technology charity 'Practical Action', helping to lead a collaboration between IBM, His Royal Highness King Charles III and Business in the Community. He worked with Google to take Street View indoors and later founded his second startup, all before turning 30.
After spending a decade immersed in Virtual Reality projects as Managing Director at Reality Media Group, working with clients including Warner Bros., where he famously captured Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley in a 360 degree VR experience, it was a conversation with his 7 year old son that led him to discover the truth about technology, people and performance.
Inspired by his journey as a business leader, father, and digital wellbeing advocate, Alexander now travels the globe speaking with audiences and working with clients to help them implement his Attention Intelligence® and Tech Rules® principles to improve internal mindset, boost performance and promote a healthy relationship with technology for overall digital wellbeing.

Alfie Joey
"Alexander was our keynote speaker at our recent Tax Summit. He was the perfect blend of humour, insight and impact and ended the conference on exactly the high note we were hoping for. 6 months on and our teams are still talking about how much they enjoyed the session and are continuing to implement some of the 'Tech Rules' he shared - being a little more mindful about tech usage."
Wendy Bond
"Wow what a keynote... So inspiring and the feedback from our members has been amazing!!"
Lynsey Oakes
"After two decades in events, it’s hard to find a keynote speaker who’s this sharp on stage and this good to work with at every touchpoint. It takes rare skill to make a room roar with laughter and then sit in complete silence as the message lands."
Zoe Lacey-Cooper
"Alexander Bell delivered an outstanding keynote at an event we hosted for our clients on the future of learning. His presentation had the full package: insight, humour, energy, and some truly thought-provoking statistics. He struck the perfect balance between engaging storytelling and valuable learning, which really resonated with the audience. The feedback from our clients has been nothing short of brilliant. Alexander has a fantastic presence on stage and brings real impact to an event. He is exactly the kind of keynote speaker every event needs, and I would highly recommend him."
