He has worked with Thales since 1992 in many roles including leading the Land Defence Division then the Land and Air Systems Global Business for seven years until 2020.

Phil Siveter, Chief Executive Officer of Thales in the UK, effective 1st November 2024 I would like to warmly thank Alex for his outstanding engagement and loyalty to Thales, its employees and customers. Over his 32 years of service in the Group, he has worked with me and my predecessors in key roles, and contributed greatly to the international successes of Thales, declared Patrice Caine, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Thales makes a difference to things that matter, so massive thanks to all the great people I will miss working with on a daily basis, the people who have made Thales what it is today, said Alex Cresswell.

I am honoured to be appointed into the role of Chief Executive Officer of Thales in the UK. With its long and proud heritage of supporting the UK, I feel privileged to be part of this strong, people centric organisation, that is delivering cutting edge technology, critical to UK infrastructure and contributes to a safer, more competitive and more sustainable UK, commented Phil Siveter.
