The people behind your investments

Alex Kay

Protection Adviser

My role at St Barts Finance

I began my career in Protection and Insurance, which provided a strong foundation for my professional development. In 2017, I progressed into a lead role, providing specialist product and provider support and helping to ensure that every protection case achieved the best possible outcome for the client.

I subsequently moved into a senior management role within the private education sector. I am currently working towards the CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership and continue to apply the skills and experience gained in that role.

Protection has always been an area about which I am particularly passionate. With the benefit of my knowledge and experience, I was keen to refocus my career on this field.

Getting to know me

What’s something you’re proud of?
I taught myself how to cook and bake throughout the ‘Covid Era’ and since then amassed a following base on social media that has enabled me to attend multiple food related events & Brand deals. I followed a passion of mine and what started out as a few videos here and there turned into something that I never thought would happen a few years later!

Who inspires you?
My father has always been a significant source of inspiration, particularly because of his entrepreneurial mindset and determination. From a young age, he encouraged my interest in golf and motivated me to continue developing my abilities. He has also helped me apply a more commercially focused approach, supporting my growth both professionally and personally.

What talents or hobbies do you have?
Asides from loving the food scene, I am an avid golfer that plays 2 times per week and currently has a handicap of 7.8. I am continuing to practice, play as much as possible, and get as low as I can!

What’s your favourite thing to do on the weekends?
My favourite weekend would involve trying out new coffee shops/bakeries, getting as many steps in as possible along the way, and then cooking for either my friends or family (no complaints on the cooking from them so far!)

“The St Barts team are fantastic and I couldn’t have done it without them!”
