Alex Slater brings The Glover Park Group a wealth of experience in reputation management and crisis communications. An award-winning communications strategist, Slater has been with The Glover Park Group since its inception and has directed a range of important corporate, advocacy and political communications efforts. He has provided strategic communications counsel, tactical media support and integrated campaign management for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, People for the American Way, Grocery Manufacturers of America, Diageo and Norman Lear's “Declare Yourself” campaign.
A strong leader, and creative force, Slater has been awarded four “Pollies” and two “Tellie Awards” honoring his contributions to advertising and campaign management. In addition, his international experience has proven a valuable resource for the firm's high-profile clients such as Microsoft, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the American Bankers Association and the American Postal Workers Union.
Previously, Slater was an account executive at Smithfield Financial, a leading London-based corporate communications firm, where he worked with clients such as Credit Suisse First Boston, Gucci and Bank of Ireland. His integrated communications strategies targeted journalists, consumers and investors and managed daily press relations and paid media initiatives. Much of Slater's media insight stems from working at the news desks of the London Times and the Financial Times. He has also worked as an associate producer for the national news show of the ITN network.
Slater holds an M.A. in communications from the Annenberg School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he researched corporate and political communications strategies.

Slater, originally from Edinburgh, Scotland, received B.A. and M.A. degrees in history from Cambridge University, where he was president of the Cambridge Union.
