THE MYRIAD TEAM
A former journalist and international Public Relations consultant with over 40 years of professional experience, Alex Lanceley formed Myriad Consulting with business partner and communications expert Elizabeth Dooley in 2020.
Previously Senior Vice President and Partner at US-headquartered FleishmanHillard, Alex worked for the organisation for 23 years in the Asia Pacific regional head office in Hong Kong. He was the company’s Asia lead for Global Consumer Marketing, responsible for strategic consultation across the firm’s consumer brand marketing, retail and corporate accounts, and has strong experience in social media communications across these practice groups in Asia Pacific.
He has also spent extended periods working on assignment in China, based for several years out of both Beijing and Shanghai, where he gained extensive marketing, strategic issues, corporate social responsibility and crisis counselling experience across both Greater China and Asia.
Elizabeth began her agency career in London in the early ‘90s and has since lived and worked in Europe, South Africa and Asia Pacific.
Her experience of journalism, public relations and publishing has taken her on a journey from the boardroom to the jungle and through a hedge fund backwards.
Today, she spends her time between the UK and Hong Kong, working alongside business partner Alex Lanceley, with clients seeking to build bridges between the UK and Asia markets.
From institutional investors to entrepreneurial start-ups, from NGOs to budding best-selling authors, Elizabeth works with clients to communicate their vision to the right audience at the right time.
