Alex Rhys

Consultant

I am a charity CEO with extensive experience founding, scaling, and leading organisations that create transformative impact for vulnerable communities. I currently lead national charities focused on youth mental health and healthcare professional development, with a track record of achieving financial turnaround and sustainable growth.

My expertise spans organisational development, stakeholder engagement, and building partnerships across government, corporate, and community sectors. I have particular strength in navigating complex governance structures, managing diverse stakeholder relationships, and leading organisations through periods of significant change and growth.

With Eastside People I focus on supporting charity CEOs and senior leaders through strategic challenges, organisational transitions, and scaling phases. I am passionate about helping social sector leaders build resilient, impactful organisations that serve their communities effectively whilst maintaining financial sustainability and strong governance practices.
