Meet Alex Jovanovic — Learning & Development Specialist

I’ve spent my career helping people learn and organisations grow. My background covers IT, AI, Cyber, business strategy, and leadership training, and I’ve worked with international teams across many industries, government and commercial.

Away from work, I’m passionate about lifelong learning, exploring how AI can make training smarter, and sharing knowledge with others.
