Jon Alexander Biography

Jon Alexander is the author of the book "CITIZENS: Why the Key to Fixing Everything is All of Us," which reframes contemporary challenges as opportunities for civic engagement and advocates for a shift in societal narratives from consumer to citizen. The book has received recognition, including selection for the World Economic Forum CEO Book Club, a feature in McKinsey Summer Reading Guide, and coverage in Financial Times as an underground hit. Alexander's work positions him as a thought leader in participatory democracy and organizational transformation.

As co-founder of the New Citizenship Project, a strategy and innovation consultancy, Alexander has worked with organizations such as the Co-op, The Guardian, and National Trust to embed citizen-centered principles in their operations. The consultancy translates the concepts from his book into practical applications, demonstrating expertise in systemic change and civic engagement across sectors.

Alexander engages audiences through public speaking and media, including a World Economic Forum podcast discussing his book and strategies for citizenship, as well as a lecture at the Kennedy Center at Brigham Young University titled "A Citizen Manifesto." He co-hosts the "How To Save Democracy" podcast, sharing insights on democratic renewal and participatory governance. These platforms showcase his experience as a speaker and advocate for civic innovation, drawing on examples from global contexts.

His involvement with organizations such as the Ash Center at Harvard and the Democracy and Culture Foundation Leadership Council reflects his influence in civic innovation. By challenging consumer narratives and promoting citizen empowerment, Alexander provides frameworks for addressing societal issues and is recognized as a credible voice in the fields of democracy, civic engagement, and organizational change.
