WEALTH at work, a leading financial wellbeing, retirement and workplace savings specialist, today announces the appointment of Alexander Walsh in the newly created role of Chief Commercial Officer.

Alexander will take up his new position on 2 June 2026 and will report to Jonathan Watts-Lay, a Director and co-Founder of WEALTH at work.

As Chief Commercial Officer, Alexander will have a pivotal role in driving growth and ensuring excellence in client delivery is built upon. He will be responsible for shaping and implementing new client-focused solutions that enhance engagement and strengthen WEALTH at work’s market leading position.

Alexander joins from Howells Associates, an employee share plan administration provider, where he served as Chief Executive Officer from 2021. He recently stepped down from his role at Howells following the successful sale of the business to Cytec Solutions in March 2026.

A transformational leader, Alexander has a proven track record of driving profitable business growth through revenue expansion and disciplined cost management. As a former British Army officer, he also brings strong leadership experience and a record of delivery against ambitious targets.

WEALTH at work provides financial wellbeing, retirement and workplace savings support to more than 700 organisations across the UK, reaching millions of the workforce.

Jonathan Watts-Lay, Director, WEALTH at work, comments: “We have an ambitious growth strategy for WEALTH at work that is underpinned by a commitment to continually invest in our people, propositions and our market-leading services to clients. We want to continue to deliver profitable, sustainable growth, and Alexander’s appointment to this newly created role is another significant step in that journey. He brings deep commercial expertise, a highly collaborative leadership style and a strong track record of building high-performing teams that deliver real value for clients. I’m delighted to welcome Alexander to WEALTH at work.”

Alexander Walsh added: "I've known WEALTH at work from the outside for a while and always been impressed. It is a business with real substance behind it: the people, the focus on doing right by clients, the way it's built its reputation. But the opportunity ahead is what really excites me. More and more employers are waking up to the fact that financial wellbeing isn't a nice-to-have, it's a business imperative, and WEALTH at work is perfectly placed to meet that moment. I'm very excited to join the team and to help shape and deliver the commercial strategy as we build on that momentum."
